1. 1外向的人

    An extrovert is a person who is outgoing: they talk fairly easily, they like being with people, and company usually fills them up rather than wearing them out. That is the noun. You will also hear it used like an adjective — “She’s very extrovert” — though many writers prefer extroverted for that job. Though actually, in careful psychology the older spelling is extravert; extrovert caught on because it rhymes so with , and that is the form ordinary English kept. In everyday talk, extrovert is the word you will hear. Students sometimes think it means “loud” or “the life of the party.” Some extroverts are; some are simply comfortable with people, and quietly so. It is a personality word, a little textbook-ish, but common enough in magazines and conversation. Nobody is a pure extrovert all day long.

組成Alteration of earlier extravert (by influence of introvert), from German Extravert, popularized in psychology by Phyllis Blanchard’s 1918 “Psycho-Analytic Study of August Comte”. By surface analysis, extro- + -vert.
