喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English entente, from Old French entent, from Latin intentus; later respelled after the Latin.

源自古法文 entent，來自拉丁文 intentus；後來拼法改仿拉丁文。

Wiktionary

Picture the mind aimed at something like a drawn bow: the whole of it pointing one way, nothing else in view. As a noun the word names what it is pointing at — what you mean to do. As an adjective it describes the pointing itself: locked on a goal, or locked on what is in front of you right now.

可以想成：心思像一把拉開的弓，整個朝著一個方向繃著，眼裡沒有別的東西。當名詞時，這個字指的是「弓對準的那個東西」——你打算做的事；當形容詞時，它描述的是「繃著」這個狀態本身：可能繃在一個目標上（決心要做到），也可能繃在眼前這件事上（專注到別的都沒注意到）。
