核心畫面

Two things put side by side, and one of them sits higher. Everything the word does comes from that vertical comparison: higher in quality, higher on the org chart, or — when a person acts as if the height is theirs by nature — higher in their own eyes.

可以想成:兩樣東西放在一起比,其中一個位置比較高。這個字所有的用法都從這個「高一階」的畫面出發:品質比較高、職位比較更多收起可以想成:兩樣東西放在一起比,其中一個位置比較高。這個字所有的用法都從這個「高一階」的畫面出發:品質比較高、職位比較高,或者一個人自以為天生就站得比較高。它跟 better 的差別在於 superior 一定帶著「相比之下」的意味,而且語氣正式,後面接的是 to 不是 than。
