If something is quantifiable, you can measure it and write it as a number or an amount — how many, how much, how often, how heavy. Sales, test scores, and hours of sleep are quantifiable. How kind a person is, or how beautiful a view feels, is much harder to pin to a figure.
If something is quantifiable如果某件事是quantifiable(可量化)的, you can measure it and write it as a number or an amount代表你可以測量它,並寫成數字或數量 — how many, how much, how often, how heavy多少個、多少量、多常,或多重。Sales, test scores, and hours of sleep銷售額、考試分數,和睡眠時數 are quantifiable都是可量化的。How kind a person is一個人有多善良, or how beautiful a view feels或一個景色感覺有多美, is much harder to pin to a figure就困難得多,很難釘成一個數字
Offices and science like this word because a number looks clear and easy to compare. Though actually, calling something quantifiable does not mean the number tells the whole story: you can count the times a student speaks in class and still miss whether they understood.
