to blame · adjective
Deserving blame, because you did something wrong or because you failed to stop something bad from happening.
該受責備的；有過失的
Picture a room after something has gone wrong, and one finger comes out and stops on a person. Culpable is that finger. It does not describe the damage and it does not describe the feeling; it says where the fault lands. Latin culpa means fault, and -able means can be given. So the word can be read as able to be given the fault.
可以想成出事之後，一根手指伸出來，最後停在某個人身上。culpable 就是那根手指。它不是在講事情有多糟，也不是在講心裡多難過，而是在說「錯落在誰頭上」。拉丁文 culpa 是「過錯」，-able 是「可以被…的」，兩個拼起來就像在說「可以被算帳的」。這根手指指在日常生活裡，就是該被責備；指在法庭上，就是該負刑責。
From the word’s history
From Latin culpa (a fault, a crime) with the ending -able, so the word can be read as able to have the fault put on you.
來自拉丁文 culpa（過錯、罪過），加上 -able（可以被…的），所以整個字可以讀成「可以被歸咎的」。
