    1. 这是什么词?

    词:bearable

    英英释义:If an unpleasant situation is bearable, you can accept or deal with it

    例句:Love makes life more bearable.

    1. 为什么选这个词?

    “bearable”是动词“bear”的形容词形式,意思是“可忍受的”,我们在口语和写作中都能用上它。比如想表达“人生不易,还好我们有爱情”这层意思,我们就可以说:

    Love makes life more bearable.

    我们想说某个人物、情况虽然不尽人意,但是还尚可,就可以用到 bearable。冬天很冷,不过和朋友一起吃顿火锅可以让冬天觉得好过一些,这时我们就可以说:

    Having hot pot with friends makes the harsh winter more bearable, if not enjoyable.

    场景:听音乐让偶然无聊的人觉得不那么无聊。
    造句:Listening to music makes boring evenings bearable for those who feel boered from time to time.

    《经济学人》在一篇讨论自杀的文章中也用到了 bearable:

    As people move to cities and the grip of tradition loosens, women have more choice about whom they marry or live with, making life more bearable.

    这段话大概是说,女性对婚恋有了更多选择,这使得她们的生活还过得去。

    在一篇讨论异地婚姻的文章中也用到了 bearable:

    Technological change has made living separate lives more bearable, and has thus probably contributed to long-distance marriage becoming more common.

    当我们想表示“科技让异地恋不再那么难熬”时,就可以套用这个句型说成:

    Technology has made long-distance relationships more bearable.

    bearable 的反义词是“unbearable”也很常见,比如米兰昆德拉的小说《不能承受的生命之轻》的英文名字就是 The Unbearable Lightness of Being。

    1. 怎样学会使用这个词?

    1)使用《牛津英语搭配词典》查“bearable”,了解它作为形容词时的常用搭配。

    2)翻译下面的句子:

    幽默让痛苦不再那么难熬。

    (参考翻译:Humor can make pain more bearable. 或者

    Humor makes the unbearable bearable.
    场景:听音乐让偶然无聊的人觉得不那么无聊。
    造句:Listening to music makes boring evenings bearable for those who feel boered from time to time.
