If you are focussed, you put your mind on one job and keep it there, as if you have decided you will not be pulled away. A focussed student sits down to study and does not keep checking a phone; a focussed team knows what it is trying to win. Used this way, the word is praise: it says you are determined, not merely quiet. You can also stay focussed, meaning you keep going when it would be easy to wander.

If you are focussed如果你是focussed的，you put your mind on one job你會把心思放在一件事上and keep it there並讓它一直留在那裡，as if you have decided you will not be pulled away就好像你已經決定不會被拉走一樣。A focussed studenta focussed studentsits down to study and does not keep checking a phone坐下來念書、不會一直查看手機；a focussed teama focussed teamknows what it is trying to win知道自己想贏得什麼。Used this way這樣用的時候，the word is praise這個字是稱讚：it says you are determined它表示你很有決心，not merely quiet而不只是安靜而已。You can also stay focussed你也可以說stay focussed，meaning you keep going意思是你會繼續堅持下去when it would be easy to wander在很容易分心的時候。

Though actually, the two-s spelling is the British one. American English writes focused with one s, and that is what most Taiwan textbooks and apps use. Same word, same meaning; the extra s is only a spelling habit, like travelled against traveled.

Though actually不過其實，the two-s spelling雙s的拼法is the British one是英式的拼法。American English美式英文writes focused with one s拼成一個s的focused，and that is what most Taiwan textbooks and apps use而這也是大多數台灣課本和app使用的拼法。Same word, same meaning同一個字、同一個意思；the extra s多出來的那個sis only a spelling habit只是一種拼字習慣，like travelled against traveled就像travelled對上traveled一樣。
