喜樂美語
  1. 1

    As a verb, to bring something to life, or to make pictures move so they look alive — like how cartoons are made frame by frame (the studio animates each scene by hand). It can also mean to fill someone with energy or excitement (the good news animated the whole room). There's also a rarer, more formal adjective use, meaning 'living' — its opposite is inanimate, meaning 'not alive,' like a rock or a chair.

    (動詞)使有生氣、賦予活力；製作動畫；(形容詞,少用)有生命的
