喜樂美語
  1. 1a/ˌbenɪˈfɪʃəl/有益

    正式having a good effect; helping someone or something get better.

    「beneficial」是比較正式的「有好處、有幫助」——說某件事帶來好的結果，常寫在健康、科學、學校說明文裡。日常口語更常說 be good for（對……好）或 helpful（有幫助）；beneficial 聽起來比較正式、像課本。可以想成從 benefit（好處）長出來的形容詞：有 benefit 的東西，就是 beneficial。常見句型：beneficial to / for something（對……有益）、a beneficial effect（有益的影響）。

From the word’s history

From Late Latin beneficiālis, from Latin beneficium 'benefit, favour'.

源自晚期拉丁文 beneficiālis，來自 beneficium「恩惠」。

Wiktionary

Picture an arrow of good effect running from one thing to another: the exercise, the rule, the rain — and at the far end, someone or something that ends up better off because of it. The word always looks at that far end.

可以想成：一支「帶來好處」的箭，從一件事射向另一件事——運動、規定、一場雨，而箭的另一端有人或有東西因此變得更好。這個字永遠看著那一端，所以句子裡常出現 to：Exercise is beneficial to your health。語氣正式，日常聊天多半會說 good for you。
