- 1可變性、易變性
Mutability is the fact that something can change, or often does change. You use it for the changing-ness of a thing: the weather, a mood, a plan, even a number in a computer program. It is a noun, so the usual shape is “the mutability of X.” It sounds a little formal; in everyday talk people more often say “it can change” or “it keeps changing.” You will meet it a lot in science and in computer work: if a value has mutability, you are allowed to it; if it does not, it must stay as it is. Though actually, writers also use it for people and for fashion — “the mutability of taste” means what we like will not sit still. The opposite idea is immutability: no changing allowed.
組成mutable + -ity. From Middle English mutabilite, from Old French mutabilite, from Latin mutabilitas.
