喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Contagious describes an illness that spreads easily from one person to another, usually by touching, coughing, or being close to someone who's sick — like a cold or the flu. People also use it in a softer, happy way for things that spread between people even though they aren't illnesses, like "her laugh is contagious," meaning when she laughs, everyone around her starts laughing too.

    （疾病）會傳染的；（情緒）有感染力的
