- 1可察覺的、隱約感覺得到的
If something is perceptible, you can notice it — but the word usually hints that it is small, quiet, or only just there. A perceptible pause. A perceptible change in her voice. You would not call a loud bang perceptible; you would call it obvious. The word is a little formal. Everyday English might say you can tell, you can see it, or it’s slight but it’s there. It comes from a Latin word meaning to take in or notice. Though actually, perceptible and perceptive are easy to mix: a change can be perceptible (you can notice it), but a person is perceptive (they notice things well). The opposite, , means you cannot notice it at all.
組成From Late Latin perceptibilis, from Latin percipiō (to notice, to take in). In English it feels like perceive + -ible (can be).
