不說話就傳過去:能力與訊息兩端
兩個意思共用同一個畫面,分工只在句子裡:形容人的時候講的是能力,形容東西的時候講的是那個訊息。看後面接什麼名詞就分得出來。
adjective · C1
Someone who is telepathic seems to have a strange ability to know what another person is thinking, without being told.
有心電感應能力的
Picture two people in a room with their mouths closed and nothing written down, and something still gets across. No sound, no paper, no gesture. One mind reaches the other directly. Everything this word does comes from that one picture; the only question each time is which end of it you are describing — the person who can do it, or the thing that travels.
From telepathy + -ic, the ordinary adjective-forming ending.
由 telepathy(心電感應)加上形容詞字尾 -ic 組成。所以要記的其實只有 telepathy 這個名詞,-ic 只是把它變成形容詞;名詞用 telepathy,形容詞用 telepathic,兩個換著用就行。
