1. 1n/dʒen/資訊/情報

    口語Useful information about something, especially the facts you need to know.

    gen 是英式英語裡很口語的說法,指『某件事的實用資訊』,常說 the gen on something(關於某事的內幕消息)。可以想成把 information 縮短成一個輕鬆的小字,朋友之間才用;正式場合還是用 information。

Wiktionary

Picture someone leaning over and saying, quietly, 'here's what you actually need to know'. Not everything about the subject — just the useful part, handed over as one packet.

可以想成:有人靠過來,小聲跟你說「重點是這樣」。不是關於那件事的所有資料,而是你真正用得上的那一份,一次交給你。所以這個字帶著「內行人告訴你」的味道,而不是查資料查來的知識。
