喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈʒɑːnrə/ · /ˈʒɒnrə/類型；體裁

    正式a particular type of art, music, film, or writing that shares the same kind of style or features.

    「genre」是英文裡偏正式的「類型」——專門用在藝術、音樂、電影、文學這類作品上。日常說 type / kind / sort 就夠（What kind of music do you like?）；談作品分類時才常換成 genre，例如 musical genre、film genre、literary genre。中文對應常是「類型」或「體裁」：音樂／電影多說類型，文學／寫作多說體裁。核心畫面可以想成「一群作品因為長得很像，被放進同一個有名字的盒子」——comedy、science fiction、jazz 都是這種有名字的盒子。

From the word’s history

Borrowed from French genre, from Old French gendre, from Latin genus; a doublet of gender and genus.

借自法文 genre「種類」，源自拉丁文 genus；和 gender 同源。

Wiktionary

Picture the shelves in a video shop or the tabs on a streaming app: horror here, romance there, documentaries at the end. Nothing about the shelf says how good a film is — it says what to expect once it starts: the kind of story, the mood, the moves it will make. That shelf can be held as the picture inside 'genre'. It also explains the quiet promise inside the word: when you choose the horror shelf you have already agreed to be scared, and a film that breaks the promise feels odd even if it is well made.

可以想成影音店的分區，或串流 App 上的那排標籤：恐怖在這邊、愛情在那邊、紀錄片放最後。架子本身不評斷好不好看，它說的是「開始播之後你會遇到什麼」——故事的種類、氣氛、大概會怎麼走。這個架子可以拿來當作 genre 的畫面。它也解釋了這個字裡藏著的一個安靜的約定：你選了恐怖片那一區，就等於同意被嚇；片子違背這個約定時，就算拍得好，看起來也怪怪的。
