喜樂美語
  1. 1

    To flit is to move lightly and quickly, without staying long in one place — like a small bird, a moth, or a thought. People, eyes, and attention can flit too: she flitted from group to group at the party; his eyes flitted over the page.

    To flit飛掠 is是 to move lightly and quickly輕快地快速移動, without staying long in one place不在一個地方待太久 — like像 a small bird, a moth, or a thought一隻小鳥、一隻蛾，或一個念頭。People, eyes, and attention人、眼睛和注意力 can flit too也可以flit: she flitted from group to group at the party她在派對上一群一群地飄來飄去; his eyes flitted over the page他的眼睛在頁面上快速掃過。

    The feeling is lightness, not power. You do not flit if you stomp, march, or settle in.

    The feeling這個字給人的感覺 is是 lightness輕盈, not power不是力量。You do not flit那就不是flit if you stomp, march, or settle in如果你是重重踩、大步走，或是安頓下來。

    The word is a little literary and a little British in flavour; American English uses it, but dart, dart around, or hop might feel more ordinary there. As a verb it is the common use. There is a noun, a flit, for a quick light movement, but you will meet the verb far more.

    The word這個字 is帶點 a little literary and a little British in flavour文學味，也帶點英式風味; American English uses it美式英文也用它, but但 dart, dart around, or hop在那邊dart、dart around或hop might feel more ordinary there可能感覺更普通。As a verb當動詞用 it is是 the common use常見的用法。There is也有 a noun, a flit一個名詞a flit, for a quick light movement指快速輕巧的動作, but但 you will meet the verb far more你遇到動詞的機會多得多。

    Though actually, in British informal speech, to flit can also mean to move house, and a moonlight flit is leaving a home secretly, often at night, often because you cannot pay the rent. That is the same old 'move' sense, grown heavier.

    Though actually不過, in British informal speech在英式口語裡, to flit也 can also mean to move house可以指搬家, and而 a moonlight flita moonlight flit is leaving a home secretly是指偷偷離開一個家, often at night常常在晚上, often because you cannot pay the rent常常是因為付不起房租。That is這其實是 the same old 'move' sense同一個古老的「搬」的意思, grown heavier只是變得更沉重。

    Here the main picture is the light, quick, not-staying-long one.

    Here這裡 the main picture核心畫面 is是 the light, quick, not-staying-long one輕巧、快速、不久留的那個。

組成From Middle English flitten, from Old Norse flytja, 'to move'. Further back it belongs to a family of 'flow / run' roots. Related everyday words in the North Germanic languages still mean 'to move' (as with Swedish flytta). That is the origin story; the English word itself does not split into a prefix and a root you can see.
