content
★★
🇺🇸 /kˈɑntɛnt/
🇬🇧 /ˈkɒn.tɛnt/
content 主要表示“感到满足”或“使人满足”,也常指文字、演讲、视频等所包含的内容;此外还可作名词表示满足,作动词表示满足某人或满足于现状。
💡 记忆钩子
把 content 想成“容器里已经装得够了”:东西装在里面,就是“内容”;心里装得够了、不再强求,就是“满足”;让别人觉得已经够了,就是“使满足”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“满足”和“内容”这两条主线,再记较少见的名词和动词用法。
- 注意名词 content 不只表示“满足”,在阅读、媒体和网络语境中更常表示“内容”;表示容器里具体装的东西时,常见的是复数形式 contents。
📖 中文释义

core 满足的;满意的📖 表示一个人觉得现在拥有的已经够了,对生活、结果或处境感到满意。它连接着“容器已经装满”的核心画面:心里已经装得够多,不再急着要更多。💡 常用句型是 be content with + 名词,或 be content to do something。它常带有知足、安于现状的意味,不一定表示非常兴奋;学习时不要把它误当成“内容丰富”的 content。She is content with her quiet life in the countryside.她对自己在乡下的宁静生活感到满足。He was content to wait until the next morning.他愿意安心等到第二天早上。

🌳 词源
各义项都与拉丁语中“容纳、装在里面”以及由此引申出的“感到满足”有关;“内容”这一名词义后来在英语中独立发展出来。
From Middle English content (plural contentes, contence), from Latin contentus, past participle of continēre (“to hold in, contain”), as Etymology 1, above. English apparently developed a substantive form of the adjective, which is not mirrored in Romance languages.
