喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A French word English borrowed. It means all the works one artist or writer has made — not one book or one painting, but the whole set, looked at together. You will hear it in museum texts and serious reviews (“her oeuvre”). It feels high and a bit ; in ordinary English people just say “all her work” or “his body of work.” Though actually, English almost always uses it for the whole pile, not for a single piece, even though the French word can mean a work in a more everyday way.

    作品全集、全部作品（藝文評論用語；日常較少說）
