核心畫面

Think of a field that keeps growing crops or a factory that keeps turning out goods — 'productive' carries that feel of bringing a lot forth for the effort put in. So a productive day, worker, or meeting is one that yields real results rather than spinning its wheels.

可以想成一塊不斷長出作物的田,或一間源源不斷產出貨品的工廠——productive 帶的就是這種「投入之後,實實在在更多收起可以想成一塊不斷長出作物的田,或一間源源不斷產出貨品的工廠——productive 帶的就是這種「投入之後,實實在在生出很多東西」的味道。所以說一天、一個人或一場會議 productive,比較像是它真的有結出成果,而不是空轉。

    Capable of producing something, especially in abundance; fertile.

    human-scienceslinguisticssciencesConsistently applicable to any of an open set of words.

    • Moreover, this relationship is a productive one, in the sense that when new Adjectives are created (e.g. ginormous concocted out of gigantic and enormous), then the corresponding Adverb form (in this case ginormously) can also be used. And in those exceptional cases where Adverbs do not end in -ly, they generally have the same form as the corresponding Adjective, as with hard, fast, etc.
    • In practice, a productive prefix yields many attested words (especially new coinages) without loss of meaning. For example, re- (“again”) is highly productive (rebuild, rethink), whereas other prefixes are relatively less so.
