- 1標準、條件(criteria 是複數,單數是 criterion)
Criteria are the standards or rules you use to judge or decide something — like the things a job requires, or what a teacher checks when grading. Important: 'criteria' is already plural. The word for just ONE standard is 'criterion', though in real life, especially spoken English, people often say 'criteria' even for one, and many teachers won't correct it.
criteria 指用來判斷或決定事情的標準、條件,例如工作要求的條件,或老師評分時看的項目。它的重點是,這個字本身已經是複數了,單數的說法是 criterion。不過在口語裡,即使只指一個標準,很多人也會說 criteria,老師通常也不會特別糾正。它是一個說明性的字,不帶特別的感情色彩。
From the word’s history
Plural of criterion, following the Greek -on → -a plural pattern.
criterion 的複數,照希臘文 -on 變 -a 的規則。
組成It comes from Greek 'kriterion', meaning 'a means of judging', from 'krinein', meaning 'to judge, decide'.
