喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English accompanien, from Old French acompagner 'to associate with', from compaing 'companion'.

源自古法文 acompagner，來自 compaing「同伴」。

Wiktionary

Two things moving through the same stretch of time or space side by side, one of them clearly the main one and the other travelling with it. A nurse walking a patient to the door; a sound that arrives with the thing that makes it.

可以想成兩樣東西並排走過同一段路或同一段時間：其中一個是主角，另一個跟著它一起出現。像護士陪病人走到門口，護士不是主角，但整段路上都在旁邊。這個「同行」的畫面往後延伸，就不一定要是人——聲音、文件、症狀，只要是跟主角一起出現、貼著它走，都可以用 accompany。
