- 1令人難忘地、難以忘懷地。要注意這是副詞,中文常常會直接說成「令人難忘的」,那是形容詞 unforgettable;副詞多半用在另一個形容詞前面,例如 unforgettably beautiful = 美得讓人忘不了。
In a way you will never forget. It is the adverb from 'unforgettable', so it carries the same feeling: something hits you so hard — usually because it was beautiful, or wonderful, or shocking — that the memory stays with you for years without you trying.
In a way you will never forget用一種你永遠不會忘記的方式. It它 is the adverb from 'unforgettable'是unforgettable的副詞形, so it carries the same feeling所以帶著同樣的感覺: something hits you so hard某件事重重打中你 — usually because it was beautiful, or wonderful, or shocking通常是因為它很美、很棒或很震撼 — that the memory stays with you for years without you trying以至於這份記憶不用你努力就留了好幾年.
Most of the time it is warm and positive: an unforgettably good meal, an unforgettably kind teacher. But the word itself is not only for good things; people also say a night went unforgettably wrong, and then it means the badness is what sticks.
Most of the time大多時候 it is warm and positive它是溫暖、正向的: an unforgettably good meal像an unforgettably good meal(一頓難忘的好餐), an unforgettably kind teacher或an unforgettably kind teacher(一位讓人難忘的親切老師). But不過 the word itself is not only for good things這個字本身不只用在好事上; people也 also say a night went unforgettably wrong像a night went unforgettably wrong(那晚糟到讓人難忘), and then it means the badness is what sticks這時候意思是糟糕的部分才是留下來的.
Notice that it is a bit of a strange adverb in practice. English speakers say 'unforgettable' far more often than 'unforgettably', because the adjective can sit right in front of the noun ('an unforgettable trip'), while the adverb needs an adjective or a verb to attach to ('unforgettably beautiful', 'she sang unforgettably'). So the most natural use is before another adjective, as a kind of strong 'very'.
Notice注意 that it is a bit of a strange adverb in practice實際上它是個有點奇怪的副詞. English speakers英文母語者 say 'unforgettable'說unforgettable far more often than 'unforgettably'比unforgettably常見得多, because因為 the adjective can sit right in front of the noun形容詞可以直接放在名詞前面 ('an unforgettable trip'像an unforgettable trip), while the adverb needs an adjective or a verb to attach to而副詞需要依附在形容詞或動詞上 ('unforgettably beautiful'像unforgettably beautiful, 'she sang unforgettably'或she sang unforgettably). So所以 the most natural use is before another adjective最自然的用法是放在另一個形容詞前面, as a kind of strong 'very'當作一種加強版的very.
It feels a little literary or advertising-ish — you meet it in travel writing, film reviews, and hotel more than in daily chat. In everyday talk a student's friends would more likely say 'I'll never forget it'.
