At its centre, 'nice' is the all-purpose word for 'this gives me a good, pleasant feeling' — a warm thumbs-up you can put on almost anything: a day, a meal, a person, a place. From that easy approval grow the social senses (kind, ), a whole crowd of set phrases and greetings built on it, the sarcastic flip (a fake 'nice' that means the opposite), and a separate, older sense of 'fine, careful detail'.

可以想成:nice 是個萬用的字,意思就是「這讓我覺得舒服、愉快」——一個溫暖的讚許,幾乎什麼都能貼上去:一天、一頓更多收起可以想成:nice 是個萬用的字,意思就是「這讓我覺得舒服、愉快」——一個溫暖的讚許,幾乎什麼都能貼上去:一天、一頓飯、一個人、一個地方。從這個輕鬆的「讚」長出後面:待人和善有禮的那層、一大堆建在它上面的固定片語和招呼語、反話用法(假惺惺的 nice,其實是相反意思),還有一個比較舊、獨立的「細微、精細」的意思。
