核心畫面

You can picture someone standing at the edge of what they know, and over it on purpose — a little risk is part of what draws them.

一個人站在「熟悉」和「沒去過」的交界上,然後主動跨過去。重點不在他膽子大,而在他是被那個未知吸引的——有一點風險反而更多收起一個人站在「熟悉」和「沒去過」的交界上,然後主動跨過去。重點不在他膽子大,而在他是被那個未知吸引的——有一點風險反而是誘因,不是障礙。這個畫面最原始的版本是真的出門去闖,後來同一種性格被搬到生活裡各種小選擇上。

keen to explore · adjective · B1

Very keen to go to new places and do exciting things, even things that might be a little dangerous. It describes what a person is like.

Willing to try new or different things, and not worried about taking a risk. It can describe a person, or the thing they choose or make, such as food, clothes, or a design.

勇於嘗試的;大膽新穎的
