喜樂美語
  1. 1

    If something is enviable, it is so good that other people would like to have it: a job, a talent, a calm voice, a house by the sea. You are praising the thing, or the luck of the person who has it. “An enviable position” means the situation looks very attractive from the outside. It does not mean that person feels envy. The envy, if it comes, sits with the people looking on. It is a polite, slightly formal compliment, common in writing and grown-up talk. An enviable job is a job worth wanting; an envious person is the one who wants it.

    令人羨慕的
