1. 1aB1/ˈtæləntɪd/有天分的;有才華的

    Able to do something very well because you were born with a natural ability for it, and not only because you have been taught or have a lot.

    示範例句 · Example

    Aisha is a talented young singer.

    逐字艾莎是一位有天分的年輕歌手。

    talented 說的是「這個人天生就會」——他一開始就上手,學得比別人快,好像那份能力本來就在身上。就像從名詞 talent(天分)長出來的形容詞,可以想成「身上帶著一份 talent 的人」,所以英文常用它形容小孩和年輕人(a talented young player):天分是被「看出來」的,不必等你累積很多年。比 skilled(靠訓練和經驗變厲害)更強調天生,比 gifted(天分很少見、很強)平常一些。

core核心畫面

You can picture talented as saying that a person came with something already built in. Two people start the same lesson on the same day; one of them moves faster than the practice alone can explain. That extra part — the part that was there before anyone taught it — is what the word points at.

可以想成:這個字指的是一個人身上「本來就帶著」的那一份東西。兩個人同一天開始學同一件事,練的時間一樣多,其中一個卻跑得特別快——多出來的那一截不是練出來的,是他一開始就有的。talented 指的就是那一截,所以它常帶著一點「不太公平」的味道:別人要花力氣補的地方,他天生就少了一段路。
