    逐字林老師是我們學校一位非常受敬重的老師。

    「respected」形容一個人「因為做得好、做出成績,所以很多人敬重他」。兩個重點:敬重的人「很多」,而且理由是「他做出來的事」,不是他的職位或他有多有錢。respected 可以想成是 respect(敬重)這個動作被別人做在他身上——敬重是別人給的,就像長年做好一件事之後,慢慢長出來的。最常見的說法是 highly respected(非常受敬重)、well respected(很受敬重)。

core核心畫面

You can think of it as the view other people hold of you, seen from outside: many of them look at what you have done or built, and think highly of you for it. It is not about being liked or being famous — it is about a body of work that other people take seriously.

可以想成別人看你的那個眼光:很多人看見你做出來的東西、做過的事,因此把你看得很重。這個字不談你可不可愛、紅不紅,而是「有作品、有成績,所以別人認真看待你」。它是 respect 的被動形,重點永遠落在別人怎麼看,不是你自己覺得如何——所以 a respected doctor 說的是這位醫生在同行和病人心裡的位置。
