1. 1aB2/ˈverid/ · /ˈveərid/多樣的;各式各樣的

    Made up of many different kinds of things, or of many different kinds of people — and different enough that it is interesting to look at, eat, do, or be part of.

    示範例句 · Example

    Grandma cooks us a varied diet — fish one night, tofu the next, noodles on Sunday.

    逐字奶奶煮給我們一種多樣的飲食——一天晚上是魚,隔天是豆腐,星期天是麵。

    varied 說的是「裡面有很多不同的種類」,而且這個「多」讓人覺得有意思,所以它比 mixed(只是混在一起)多了一點好玩的味道。可以想成 varied 就是動詞 vary(變化)換上形容詞的樣子——就像裡面一直在換花樣,看過去每一樣都不太一樣。它可以形容東西(a varied diet 吃得很多樣),也可以形容一群人(a varied group 成員很多元)。

core核心畫面

Think of a plate at a buffet next to a plate holding one thing repeated: the first one has many different kinds on it, and that difference is what makes it worth looking at. 'Varied' describes a whole made of parts that are not all the same — and it carries a warm tilt, the sense that the mixture is interesting rather than merely mixed.

可以想成自助餐盤和只裝了同一樣東西的盤子擺在一起:前者上面有好幾種不同的東西,而正是這個「不一樣」讓它看起來有意思。varied 講的是一個整體由不相同的成分組成——而且它帶著一點好意,暗示這種混合是豐富、耐看的,不只是「雜」。所以 a varied diet、a varied career、a varied group of people 都在誇這件事。
