- 1可取得的、可獲得的
If something is obtainable, you can get it. The word does not say you must get it, or that getting it is easy — only that getting it is possible. A book still in the shops is obtainable; a ticket that sold out last night is not. People use this word more in notices, forms, and careful writing than in chat with friends. A friend would usually say “you can get it” or “it’s available.” Shops, libraries, and offices like the pattern “obtainable from…”: obtainable from the school office, freely obtainable online. You can also talk about information, help, or a result as obtainable, meaning it is within reach if you try. Though actually, when people say something is “easily obtainable,” they are often making a quiet point about fairness or luck — anyone can get it, so there is no special excuse, or anyone can get it, so it is not rare or precious. The opposite, , is common too, and it can sound a little heavy, as if the thing is out of reach on purpose.
