喜樂美語
  1. 1

    'Occult' describes things connected to magic, spirits, and hidden supernatural power that cannot be explained by science — like cards, , or old magic books. It does not automatically mean 'evil'; it just means 'hidden' or 'secret' in this special, mysterious sense. Doctors also use this word in a much plainer way: 'occult blood' means blood that is present but too small in amount to see with your eyes, only found by a test.

    與魔法、超自然有關的「神秘的」；醫學上的「隱血」則是指肉眼看不見、需檢驗才知道的血。
