創作者工作的房間
這一族最貼近核心畫面:一個人在裡頭做創作或練習的房間,只是換不同的創作者。
artist's studio · noun · B1
A room where a painter or photographer does their work regularly.
畫室 / 工作室
You can think of a studio as a room set aside for one kind of creative work — a space where an artist, musician, or performer goes to make things or practise. The room is built around the work that happens in it: equipment, space, quiet — everything arranged so the creating can happen there.
From Italian studio 'room for study', from Latin studium 'eagerness, painstaking application, study'. The core picture — a room dedicated to focused, painstaking work — comes straight from that root.
源自義大利文 studio(書房、研習的房間),再上溯拉丁文 studium(熱切的投入、用功)。「一個專門用來專注、用心工作的房間」這個核心畫面,正是從這個字根來的。
