1. 1刻意裝出來的、事先演練過的(裝作自然,其實是設計好的);如 a studied smile 刻意的微笑、studied indifference 佯裝的漠不關心。另有中性用法:a studied response 指深思熟慮後的回應。

    This is the describing word 'studied', not the past tense of study — and it means almost the opposite of what students expect. A studied smile, a studied calm, a studied : each one was thought about and beforehand, so it looks natural but is not. The person decided in advance how to seem.

    Because of that, the word carries quiet . It hints that what you are seeing is a performance. 'Her was studied' does not mean she was very polite; it means she worked out how to appear polite, and you can feel the work behind it. There is a fine irony in the most common pairings — 'studied casualness', 'studied indifference' — where the whole point of the thing being described is that it should look , and the speaker is telling you it wasn't.

    It is a fairly formal, literary word. You meet it in novels, reviews, and journalism far more than in speech. Almost always it sits directly in front of a noun (a studied answer, with studied care); saying 'his answer was studied' is possible but rarer and sounds .

    One related use is not at all: 'a studied response' can simply mean a careful, considered one, given after real thought. Context tells you which is meant — if the thing being described is a feeling or a manner, it is the sense; if it is a decision or a reply, it may be the neutral one.

    「studied」是形容詞,不是 study 的過去式,它描述事先想好、練過的樣子。它的意思幾乎和學生預期的相反:看起來自然,其實不是。像「a studied + 名詞」的用法,例如「a studied smile」(刻意的微笑)、「a studied calm」(裝出來的冷靜),每一個都是事先決定好要給人什麼樣子。

    這個字暗含不太贊同的語氣,暗示你看到的是在表演。「Her politeness was studied」的意思不是她很有禮貌,而是她刻意裝出有禮貌的樣子,你感覺得到背後的用心。「studied casualness」和「studied indifference」這類組合很諷刺,因為那些東西本來應該看起來很自然,卻被說成其實不是。

    這是偏正式、文學的用字,常見於小說、評論和新聞,通常放在名詞前面。另外有一個中性的用法,「a studied response」指深思熟慮後的回應,不帶貶意。要看語境:描述感覺或態度,通常是虛假的意思;描述決定或回應,可能是中性的。

組成From the verb study + the ending -ed, which turns a verb into a describing word. Study itself came into English from Old French, from Latin studium, meaning eagerness, care, or devoted effort. That older meaning of careful effort is what survives here: something studied has had effort put into it — sometimes too much.
