喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Old French misture, from Latin mixtūra 'a mixing', from mixtus, past participle of misceō 'mix'.

源自古法文 misture，來自拉丁文 mixtūra「混合」。

Wiktionary

Picture several different things put together in one place — and the point of the word is that you can still tell they are different. A mixture is not one smooth new thing; it is a set of parts sitting together, sometimes stirred, sometimes just found side by side. From that you get everything from a bowl of cake batter to a crowd of very different people to what a science teacher means when she says salt and sand make a mixture, not a compound.

可以想成好幾種不一樣的東西被放進同一個地方——而這個字的重點在於：你還看得出它們是不一樣的東西。mixture 不是變成了一個嶄新的整體，而是一堆各自的成分待在一起，有時被攪過，有時只是剛好並排在那裡。從這個畫面出發，一碗調好的蛋糕糊、一群性格差很多的人、還有理化老師說的「鹽和沙是混合物，不是化合物」，用的都是同一個字。
