📝 学习建议
  • 不要只把 settled 理解为“已经解决”;在本义中,它常描述人在新环境中安顿下来、适应下来后的状态。
📖 中文释义
adj
  • core 安定自在;安顿下来
    📖 经历搬家、换环境或一段动荡之后,人不再觉得陌生和不安,已经适应并能自在地生活,这种状态就是 settled。
    💡 常用 feel settled after... 或 feel settled in...,表示“在……之后感到安定”或“在……中安顿下来”。它多用于描述持续的生活和心理状态,通常不直接修饰一次短暂的情绪。中文学习者容易只想到“定居”,但这里也可以只是已经适应新城市或新生活。
    After six months in the new job, she finally felt settled.
    在新工作岗位上待了六个月后,她终于感到安定下来了。
    The children soon became settled in their new school.
    孩子们很快就适应了新学校的生活。
