待人的方式好不好
這一家把核心裡的那個方式拿去評分，看的是它對在場的人好不好。好壞的判斷全落在前面加的那個字上。
adjective · B1
In compounds such as well-mannered, bad-mannered or ill-mannered, the first part says how polite or impolite someone is in the way they behave towards other people.
（有／沒有）禮貌的
核心畫面
Think of a manner as the way a person does a thing, watched from outside: how they hand you the plate, how they say your name, how they hold themselves when others are in the room. Adding -ed makes the word say that this way of doing things is noticeable — the person carries a manner. From there, everything depends on one question: is that manner there for the people in the room, or for the look of it? Put well or bad in front and you are judging how the person treats others. Leave the word alone and you are saying the manner has taken over, and what you see is the doing rather than the person.

「manner」可以想成一個人做事的樣子，是從外面看得到的那一面：怎麼把盤子遞過來、怎麼叫你的名字、有人在場的時候怎麼撐著自己。後面加上 -ed，就變成「帶著某種做事樣子的」，也就是那個樣子明顯到讓人看見了。接下來全看一個問題：那個樣子是為了在場的人，還是為了讓人看。前面加 well 或 bad，評的是他怎麼對待別人。什麼都不加，意思就變成那個樣子蓋過了人本身，你看到的是動作，不是人。From the word’s history
The word is manner plus -ed and goes back to Middle English manered, so its parts already say it: carrying a manner.
這個字是 manner（做事、待人的方式）加上 -ed 組成的，可以追到中古英語的 manered。字的組成本身就把核心說完了：帶著某種方式的。

Two branches
方式太刻意、做出來的
同一個核心，少了前面的評價詞，重心就從「對別人好不好」滑到「那個樣子本身太明顯」。方式變成主角，人反而被蓋住。
adjective · C1
Behaving, speaking, or writing in a way that is not natural, because it has been worked out to make people admire you. Calling something mannered is a criticism: it looks planned and put on rather than real.
矯揉造作的
