    示範例句 · Example

    My grandmother is a shareholder in the bakery she helped start.

    逐字我的奶奶是她幫忙創立的那家麵包店的一位股東。

    「shareholder」是「擁有一間公司一部分的人」。這個字可以想成由兩塊拼起來：share（一份、一小塊）＋ holder（拿著它的人），所以 shareholder 就像「手上拿著公司其中一小塊的人」。順著這個畫面看，其他說法就都通了：拿得多就是 major shareholder（大股東），拿不到一半就是 minority shareholder（小股東）；公司賺錢時會分給股東（dividend 股利），公司要做大決定時股東可以投票。注意 shareholder 是可數名詞，一個人是 a shareholder，很多人是 shareholders。

core核心畫面

The word says exactly what it is: share + holder, someone holding a piece. Picture a company cut into many small pieces; buy one and that piece is yours, so a slice of the company itself belongs to you — you get a say and a share of the profit, without running the place.

這個字的組成就把答案寫出來了：share（股份）＋ holder（持有的人）——手上握著一小塊的人。可以想成一家公司被切成很多小塊，你買下其中一塊，那一塊就是你的，所以你等於擁有這家公司的一小片：可以分到利潤、在股東會上有投票權，但不必負責經營。
