1. 释义:worth having and wanted by most people
2. 理解:desirable是desire的形容词形式,意思是“值得拥有的”“理想的”,是一个口语和写作都常用到的高频词。我们想表示“一个好工作”“一个好结果时”,除了常见的good, 还可用到desirable, 比如"a desirable job/outcome"。
美国畅销书作家马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在David and Goliath中提到一个概念"desirable difficulty", 指某些困难和障碍其实是可以帮助我们成长的。
3. 应用:
1)翻译:这个解决方案理论上来说非常可取,不过实际操作起来困难重重。
This solution is desirable in theory but problematic in reality.
2) 造句:
For some people, a good education means a desirable job and a successful life. I don't think things are simply like that.(对有些人来说,好的教育就意味好工作,我却不这样看。)
