- 1田園詩；也指世外桃源般的美好時光（偏書面）
An idyll is a place or a stretch of time that feels perfectly peaceful and happy, as if nothing hard could touch it. A quiet childhood, a village by the sea, a week of swimming and long meals with no rush — people may call those an idyll. The word is a little literary; you will meet it more in writing and careful speech than in the market. Though actually, it began as a short poem about country life, and that older meaning is still in some books. When people use it now, they often know, somewhere, that real life is not like that. Calling something an idyll can be sincere, or a bit sad — a beautiful picture that cannot last. People say the word two ways: ID-ill, or sometimes EYE-dill.
組成From Latin īdyllium, from Ancient Greek εἰδύλλιον (eidúllion), a small form of εἶδος (eîdos, “form, shape”). It started as a little poem about a quiet country scene; later people used it for the peaceful life itself.
