喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/rɪˈsɪpiənt/接受者

    正式A person who is given something, or who gets something that is sent to them.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei was the recipient of the school reading prize this year.

    逐字美是今年學校閱讀獎的接受者。

    「recipient」是比較正式的說法，核心意思是「收到某樣東西的那個人」——獎、禮物、信件、訊息送到誰那裡，誰就是 recipient。How can we think of recipient？可以想成 receive 這條線上的「人」：東西往誰走過去，誰就是接受者。跟 receiver 容易搞混——receiver 也可以指機器（例如電話聽筒、訊號接收器），recipient 幾乎都指人，而且語氣更正式。常見搭配：the recipient of an award、email recipient（收件人）。

core核心畫面

Picture something travelling — a letter, a prize, a donated kidney, an email — and then picture the pair of open hands waiting at the far end of that journey. 'Recipient' names those hands: the end point, the person the thing lands on. That end-of-the-line position can be held as the picture inside the word, and it explains the word's cool, official tone. It is the label a form or an announcement uses when it needs to say who the arrow points to, without saying anything about whether that person asked for it, earned it, or wanted it.

可以想成有個東西正在移動——一封信、一個獎、一顆捐出來的腎臟、一封 email——然後想像旅程另一頭，有一雙攤開等著的手。recipient 講的就是那雙手：終點，東西最後落在誰身上。這個「線的末端」的位置，可以拿來當作這個字的畫面，也解釋了它為什麼聽起來冷靜、正式。它是表格或公告在需要標明「箭頭指向誰」時會用的字，至於這個人有沒有要求、有沒有努力得來、想不想要，這個字都不表態。
