再做一次還能一樣
這一支就是核心問題的正面答案:同樣的事做第二次,做得出來,而且結果一樣。
adjective · B2
Able to be done again in the same way. In science and in work, it usually also means that doing it again gives the same result, so the first result was not luck.
可以重複的、可重現的
You can think of repeatable as asking one question: can this happen a second time? The parts say so — repeat plus -able, able to be repeated. What changes between the uses is what the second time is: doing the thing again, or saying the words again.
From repeat plus -able. The ending -able goes back through Old French to Latin -abilis, meaning able to be done.
由 repeat 加上字尾 -able 組成;-able 經過古法文,一路回到拉丁文 -ābilis,意思是「可以被…的」。可以想成:只要看到 -able,就先讀成「可以被…」,這個字的兩個用法都還在這個框架裡。
