Re: [每日] epicure (n) 美食家
epicure / gourmet / gourmand / gastronome 四字雖然都翻作美食家
但它們卻有各自的隱含意義，值得我們關注。
以下摘錄 M-W 字典的比較，寫得很棒：
epicure, gourmet, gourmand, gastronome mean one who takes pleasure
in eating and drinking.
epicure implies fastidiousness and voluptuousness of taste.
gourmet implies being a connoisseur in food and drink and the
discriminating enjoyment of them.
gourmand implies a hearty appetite for good food and drink, not
without discernment, but with less than a gourmet's.
gastronome implies that one has studied extensively the history and
rituals of haute cuisine.
作為進階的英文學習者，盡量要掌握此類中文同義字背後的英文隱含義，如
此一來使用英文精準度將會大幅提升。
