〔average〕"One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf" (Spinoza).Something that istolerable is merely acceptable: “同一件事物在同一时间可以是好的、坏的、一般的，例如，音乐对忧郁者来说是好的，对悲哀者来说是坏的，对耳聋者来说既不好也不坏” （斯宾诺莎）。tolerable 只指可接受的事物： 〔good〕Being positive or desirable in nature; not bad or poor:好的，善良的，不坏的：本质上积极的或适当的；好的，不坏的：〔wash〕“[The company] doesn't do badly. That is, it's a wash" (Harper's)“[公司] 的经营状况还不坏。就是说，它既不赔也不赚” (哈珀) |
