    「sightseeing」講的是「在一個地方到處走走、看看有名或有趣的景點」這件活動,通常是旅客在做的事。它是不可數名詞,所以不說 a sightseeing、也沒有複數;最常用的說法是 go sightseeing(去觀光)和 do some sightseeing(去逛一逛景點)。可以想成 sight(值得一看的景點)加上 seeing(去看)長出來的字——去看那些值得看的地方。

core核心畫面

The word is built from its two halves: sights (the famous or interesting things a place is known for) plus seeing. Picture a with a day free, walking or riding from one well-known spot to the next just to look at them.

可以直接從組成它的兩半來看:sights 是一個地方有名、值得看的那些東西,seeing 就是去看。畫面比較像一個旅人空出一天,帶著相機從一個著名景點晃到下一個,目的就只是「去看」——不是辦事、不是出差,就是把那些東西看過。
