喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈɡɑːrdnɪŋ/ · /ˈɡɑːdnɪŋ/園藝；整理花園

    The activity of looking after a garden: growing flowers, plants and vegetables, and also pulling out weeds, watering, and cutting the grass to keep the garden tidy.

    gardening 說的是「照顧一個花園」這整件事——種花、種菜是它，拔草、澆水、剪草皮也是它，所以特別寫上 cutting a lawn。可以想成：一塊地你固定去顧著，讓上面的植物長得好；從這個畫面往外長，放進去的（種種子）、拿出來的（拔雜草）、還有用來做這件事的東西（gardening gloves 園藝手套、gardening tools 園藝工具），都收在同一個字裡。它不可數，所以不說 a gardening、two gardenings；要講份量就用 a bit of gardening、a lot of gardening。garden 是那塊地方，gardener 是那個人，gardening 才是那件事。

core核心畫面

From the word’s history

From garden + -ing.

由 garden「花園」加 -ing 組成。

Wiktionary

Someone in their own patch of ground, hands in the soil — planting, pulling weeds, watering, trimming — the ongoing work of keeping a garden alive and tidy.

一個人蹲在自家那塊土上，手上沾著泥。種下去、拔草、澆水、修剪草皮——不是某一次的動作，而是一整套持續在做的照顧。garden 是那塊地，加上 -ing 之後指的是「在那塊地上進行的活動」本身，所以它是一件事、一種嗜好，不是一個地方。
