核心畫面

One way to hold this word: the little sentence feel good has been picked up whole and parked in front of a noun. So a feel-good film is a film that makes you feel good, and a feel-good moment is a moment that does. The word always describes the effect something is meant to have on people, never how good the thing is. Point it at one person in a cinema and you get the film sense; point it at a whole country and you get the feel-good factor.

可以想成 feel good(覺得舒服)這句小句子被整個抬起來,放到名詞前面。所以 a feel-good film更多收起可以想成 feel good(覺得舒服)這句小句子被整個抬起來,放到名詞前面。所以 a feel-good film 就是「一部讓你 feel good 的電影」,a feel-good moment 就是「一個讓你 feel good 的時刻」。這個字描述的一直是「它想在人身上造成什麼效果」,不是東西本身好不好。把這個效果指向戲院裡的一個人,就是電影那個用法;指向一整個國家的人,就是 feel-good factor。

Two branches

療癒的;看了心情好的

整群人的安心感

一樣是「讓人覺得好」,但對象從一個人換成一整個社會,而且它會被拿來解釋大家花不花錢。

adjective · C1

The feel-good factor is a shared sense among ordinary people that things are going well — that jobs are safe and it is all right to spend money. The source marks it as especially British English.

樂觀氣氛;大眾的安心感
