[字彙] forte (n) 長處
今日 M-W 單字是 forte (n) 長處 (指人的強項)
原為擊劍 (fencing) 的運動術語
指的是劍身 (blade) 的靠近劍柄 (hilt) 端的 1/3 部分
此處為劍最強韌的部分
後引申為人的長處 (最拿手的技能)
比如說這句:
The pitcher's forte is definitely his 100-mph fastball, although his
curveball is also strong.
儘管他的曲球也很強，但投手的必殺技絕對是時速 100 英哩的快速球。
那麼劍身的另外 2/3 該怎麼稱呼呢?
最前端的 1/3 是劍最脆弱的部分叫 foible
同樣地 此字也引申為人的弱點 (最不拿手的事物)
中間那段就叫 medium
來看真相吧
http://ppt.cc/NimW <- M-W Visual Dictionary 派上用場了!
圖畫得很精準哦
是不是分為三等分呢?
所以 forte <> foible 是一組反義字 (都是 f 開頭的!)
而且大家可以用在寫作裡頭
比如說用 forte 取代 strength, strong point, advantage 等常用字
畢竟背了單字 要真正能應用
單字才會活起來!
