- 1典型的；最具代表性的
Quintessential means ‘being a perfect example of a particular type of person or thing’. A quintessential English village is the village that seems to gather all the usual pieces — the green, the church, the pub — into one picture. A quintessential teacher of a certain kind is the person who most clearly is that kind. It is the everyday member of this family: more common than the noun , a little more formal than ‘typical’, and stronger than ‘typical’ too, because it claims not just ‘usual’ but ‘the very type itself’. People use it in reviews, profiles, and careful description more than in chat.
