不費力就走得動
這一支把核心畫面當好事看:輕鬆是因為底子夠,或條件夠溫和。
adjective · C2
Able to do something smoothly and without visible effort, especially writing or speaking. A facile pen or a facile style keeps moving and never seems to struggle.
流暢自如的
One way to hold this word: something that goes without pushing. The pen moves, the reaction runs, the win arrives — nothing had to be forced. That single picture is neutral on its own, and English has spent centuries deciding how to feel about it. Where the ease belongs to skill, the word praises. Where the ease belongs to the task being too small, the word turns cold.
Borrowed from Middle French facile, from Latin facilis 'easy to do', from facere 'to do, make'. The root sense is simply ease, which is why the neutral picture sits underneath both the praising and the critical uses.
借自中古法文 facile,源頭是拉丁文 facilis「容易做的」,再往前是動詞 facere「做」。字根只講「容易」,所以稱讚和批評這兩種用法,底下墊的其實是同一個中性畫面。
