If you are jaded, something that used to light you up now leaves you flat. You have had so much of it — parties, praise, travel, even success — that the next round does not feel new.

If you are jaded如果你jaded（感到厭倦） something that used to light you up以前會讓你很興奮的東西 now leaves you flat現在卻讓你覺得平淡無感。 You have had so much of it你已經經歷太多這種東西了 — parties, praise, travel, even success ———派對、稱讚、旅行，甚至成功—— that the next round does not feel new以至於下一次已經不覺得新鮮了。

It is not ordinary tiredness after a long day; it is a worn-out kind of boredom, the feeling of “I have seen this already.” People use it more about adults than children, and it can sound a little grown-up or newspaper-like: jaded voters, a jaded star, a jaded traveller who no longer gasps at the view. Though actually, it does not have to mean you hate the thing; the spark has simply gone.

It is not ordinary tiredness after a long day它不是忙一整天後的那種普通疲累 ; it is a worn-out kind of boredom；而是一種被磨光的無聊感 , the feeling of “I have seen this already.”，就是「我已經看過這個了」的那種感覺。 People use it more about adults than children人們用這個字講大人比講小孩多 , and it can sound a little grown-up or newspaper-like，聽起來會有點成人化或報紙腔 : jaded voters, a jaded star, a jaded traveller who no longer gasps at the view：像jaded voters（厭倦的選民）、a jaded star（厭倦的明星）、a jaded traveller who no longer gasps at the view（看到美景也不再驚呼的厭倦旅人）。 Though actually不過其實 it does not have to mean you hate the thing這不代表你討厭那個東西 ; the spark has simply gone；只是那股火花消失了而已。

The picture behind the word is an old sense of jade: a worn-out horse that cannot be pushed any further (and, from the 1500s, a rude word for a woman). That tired-horse picture is the parent; the green stone called jade is a different word that only looks the same.

The picture behind the word這個字背後的畫面 is an old sense of jade來自jade這個字的一個舊意思 : a worn-out horse that cannot be pushed any further：一匹已經累到不能再走的馬 (and, from the 1500s, a rude word for a woman)（從1500年代起，也是罵女人的粗話）。 That tired-horse picture is the parent那個「累馬」的畫面才是源頭 ; the green stone called jade；至於那個叫jade的綠色寶石 is a different word that only looks the same是另一個字，只是長得一樣而已。
