amiable 友好的

來自詞根am, 愛。

amiable: amiable: [14] Amiable and amicable are the two English descendants of that most familiar of Latin verbs, amo, amas, amat … ‘love’. It had two rather similar adjectives derived from it: amābilis ‘lovable’ and, via amīcus ‘friend’, amīcābilis ‘friendly’ (source of English amicable [15]). Amīcābilis became in French amiable, and this was borrowed into English as amiable, but its meaning was subsequently influenced by that of French aimable ‘likeable, lovable’, which came from Latin amābilis.
=> amicable
amiable (adj.): mid-14c., from Old French amiable, from Late Latin amicabilis "friendly," from amicus "friend," related to amare "to love" (see Amy). The form confused in Old French with amable "lovable," from Latin amare. Reborrowed later in proper Latin form as amicable.

1. Sara, while remaining outwardly amiable toward all concerned, was inwardly furious.: 薩拉盡管表面上對(duì)所有相關(guān)的人依然和藹可親，內(nèi)心卻怒火中燒。

3. Do you really want to go or are you merely being amiable?: 你是真的想去呢,還是僅僅為了表示友好?
