喜樂美語
  1. 1aB1/ˈʃaɪni/閃亮的；有光澤的

    Having a smooth surface that throws light back, so it looks bright — used about things like clean hair, polished shoes, new metal, or a well-wiped table.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo polished his black school shoes until they were shiny.

    逐字Leo 擦亮他的黑色學校鞋子，直到它們是閃亮的。

    「shiny」形容一個東西「表面很平滑，所以把光反射回來，看起來亮亮的」——重點在表面，不是它自己會發光。可以想成：shine 是「發出光」，加上 -y 就像 rain→rainy 一樣，變成「整片都帶著那種光」的樣子；那道光其實是太陽或燈的光，被平滑的表面彈回來。所以擦亮的皮鞋、剛洗好的頭髮、新的銅板都可以是 shiny，但太陽和檯燈是 bright，不是 shiny。

core核心畫面

Picture light hitting a smooth surface and bouncing straight back at your eye instead of : freshly polished shoes, a new coin, a table just wiped clean. shiny is what that bounced-back light looks like from outside.

可以想成光打在一個平滑的表面上，沒有散開，而是直接彈回你眼睛裡：剛擦好的皮鞋、新的硬幣、剛抹過的桌面、洗乾淨的頭髮。shiny 講的是從外面看到的那個結果——表面亮得反光。關鍵在「平滑」：同樣的皮鞋沾了灰、表面變粗，光就散掉了，也就不 shiny 了。所以這個字常常順帶透露出乾淨、新、有保養的意思。
