- 1易受影響的（尤其指年輕人）
If someone is impressionable, new ideas and strong people go into them easily. Their mind is still soft, so a teacher, a film, a friend, or an can leave a mark. We say this most about children and teenagers, and we often say it with a little worry: “Don’t show that to him — he’s at an impressionable age.” Adults can be impressionable too, but the word then can sound a bit , as if they should know better. It does not mean “good at impressing other people”. That is impressive. Impressionable is the other direction: you receive the impression; you do not give it. Though actually, everyone is impressionable sometimes — the first week in a new school, a first love, a first job. The word is slightly formal; in casual talk people say “easily influenced” or “takes things to heart”.
組成From impression + -able. impression is a mark left on the mind; -able here means “able to receive that” — easy to leave a mark on. The path comes through French impressionner (to impress) and the ending -able.
