進階篇: trademark 是個名詞,它的最基本的意思是商標,也可以用來表示 特點、標誌。當我們想表達人和物的特點時,除了 feature, characteristic 外,還可以選擇 trademark.
比如亞馬遜CEO 傑夫·貝佐斯笑起來非常有特點。他極富感染力的高聲大笑成了他最知名的標簽,我們就可以說:
Jeff Bezo's booming laughter is his trademark.
trademark 雖然是個名詞,但可以像形容詞壹樣修飾名詞,表示“b標誌性的XX”,"招牌式XX"。這種用法在口語和寫作中非常常見。比如我們想表達“妳又來這壹套!” “又是這招!”就可以說:
That's his/her trademark move/trick !
