喜樂美語
  1. 1a/ˈhelθfəl/有益健康的

    正式likely to make you healthy; food, air, or activities that help keep your body well.

    「healthful」形容「對身體有幫助、能讓人更健康」的事物——常見在食物、活動、空氣上（healthful food / activities / mountain air）。核心畫面可以想成：從 health（健康）加上 -ful（充滿…的）長出來，healthful = 帶來健康好處的。跟 healthy 容易並排：healthy 可以說人（a healthy child）也可以說食物；healthful 多半只修飾「對健康有幫助的事物」，而且語氣更正式、美式書面較常見。日常口語更常聽到 healthy food；healthful food 聽起來像標籤、報導或較正式的寫作。

可以想成：箭頭的方向跟一般講健康的字相反——這份食物、這片空氣、這段散步本身無所謂健不健康，它們是「讓人變健康」的那一方。healthful 形容的就是對身體有好處的那樣東西。
