If something is comprehensible, a person can understand it without an unusual struggle: the sentences hang together, the steps are in order, the voice is not a mumble. It is about being get-able, not about being simple-minded. A hard science idea can still be comprehensible if someone explains it in a careful way.
If something is comprehensible如果某件事是可以理解的話, a person一個人 without an unusual struggle不需要特別費力 can understand it就能懂它: the sentences句子 hang together前後連貫, the steps步驟 are in order按部就班, the voice說話的聲音 is not a mumble也不含糊不清。 It is about being get-able這是在說「聽得懂」, not about being simple-minded不是說「頭腦簡單」。 A hard science idea很難的科學概念 can still be comprehensible還是可以是可以理解的, if someone explains it in a careful way只要有人仔細解釋。
The word is a little formal; in daily speech people say understandable or “I get it.” Its opposite is incomprehensible — so unclear that you cannot find a way in.
The word這個字 is a little formal有點正式; in daily speech在日常說話裡 people say人們會說 understandable看得懂 or或 "I get it."「我懂了」。 Its opposite它的反義詞 is incomprehensible是看不懂的 — so unclear that you cannot find a way in不清楚到讓人完全摸不著頭緒。
Though actually students trip on a : comprehensive. Comprehensive means wide and full, covering almost everything (a comprehensive list, a comprehensive school in Britain). A comprehensive report can be barely comprehensible if it is long and muddy.
Though actually不過其實 students學生 trip on a lookalike常常被一個長得很像的字絆倒: comprehensive:comprehensive。 Comprehensivecomprehensive means wide and full的意思是廣泛而完整, covering almost everything幾乎涵蓋所有東西 (a comprehensive list(像comprehensive list全面清單 a comprehensive school in Britain)、英國的comprehensive school綜合中學)。 A comprehensive report一份comprehensive報告 can be barely comprehensible可能反而很難看懂 if it is long and muddy如果又長又亂。
