Adios is Spanish for goodbye, used freely in English — especially American English, where Spanish is heard every day. In English it is casual and a bit jaunty. You toss it out as you leave, often with a wave.

Adios is Spanish for goodbyeAdios在西班牙文裡是「再見」，used freely in English在英語中被自由使用——especially American English尤其是美式英語，where Spanish is heard every day因為那裡每天都聽得到西班牙文。In English在英語裡，it is casual and a bit jaunty這個詞隨性、帶點輕快。You toss it out as you leave你會在離開時隨口說出，often with a wave常常還揮個手。

It also has a second life that Spanish does not really have. English speakers use adios to mean 'and that's gone for good' — a cheerful farewell to something you are glad to be rid of, or something that has just been destroyed. 'One more mistake like that and adios, job.' 'The wind took the umbrella — adios.' There is a shrug in it, sometimes a bit of triumph.

It also has a second life它還有 that Spanish does not really have西班牙文裡沒有的第二種用法。English speakers use adios to mean 'and that's gone for good'英語使用者用adios表示「就這樣沒了、掰掰囉」——a cheerful farewell to something you are glad to be rid of用愉快的口氣跟你很高興擺脫掉的東西道別，or something that has just been destroyed或剛被摧毀的東西道別。'One more mistake like that and adios, job.'「再犯一次那種錯，工作就adios了。」'The wind took the umbrella — adios.'「風把傘吹走了——adios。」There is a shrug in it語氣裡帶點聳肩，sometimes a bit of triumph有時候還帶點得意。

Spelling and sound: in English it is usually written without the accent, adios, and said 'ah-dee-OHS'. In Spanish itself it is adiós with the accent on that last syllable, which is where English gets the stress from. Rarely it appears as a noun — 'a quick adios' — but that is unusual.

Spelling and sound拼法和發音：in English it is usually written without the accent在英語裡通常不加重音符號，adios寫成adios，and said 'ah-dee-OHS'唸作「ah-dee-OHS」。In Spanish itself在西班牙文本身，it is adiós寫成adiós，with the accent on that last syllable重音在最後一個音節，which is where English gets the stress from英語的重音就是從那裡來的。Rarely it appears as a noun它偶爾會當名詞用——'a quick adios'「a quick adios」——but that is unusual但這樣用不常見。

Though actually — like adieu, it began as 'to God', a short form of a longer blessing said to travellers. The two words are twins from different languages, arriving in English by different roads. But they landed in different places: adieu turned literary and solemn, adios turned breezy. Same idea, opposite moods, which is a good reminder that a word's history does not decide how it feels today.

Though actually不過，其實 like adieu就像adieu一樣，it began as 'to God'它最初是「獻給上帝」的意思，a short form of a longer blessing said to travellers是對旅人說的一段祝福語的簡短版。The two words are twins from different languages這兩個字是來自不同語言的雙胞胎，arriving in English by different roads經由不同的路徑進入英語。But they landed in different places但它們落腳的地方不同：adieu turned literary and solemnadieu變得文學、莊重，adios turned breezyadios則變得輕快。Same idea, opposite moods同樣的概念、相反的語氣，which is a good reminder that a word's history does not decide how it feels today這也提醒我們一個詞的歷史不會決定它今天給人的感覺。
