💡 深入解读

Viable 一眼看过去会误以为是介词 via (经过、经由)的衍生词,其实不然,该词源自于拉丁语vita(生命),1828年经法语viable(能活的、能成活的、能生存的)进入英语,其基本含义也是指胎儿脱离母体后无须特殊护理就“能养活的”,这个概念在生物学上表示卵、种子等“可生长发育的、能发芽生长的”,

比如:

The human fetus usually becomes viable by the end of the seventh month. And most babies are weaned by the time they are one.人的胎儿通常在第七个月末产下后可以自然存活。然后婴儿大多在一岁时断奶。

Cash alone will not make Eastern Europe's banks viable. In some cases, banks that were otherwise solvent faced collapse.既然是脱离母体后能够自然存活的,那么用在经济、机构、国家等上时,则表示“能独立发展的、能独立生存的”,比如:仅靠现金不能使东欧的银行维持下去。在一些情况下,本来拥有偿付能力的银行也面临崩溃。

In order to make the moribund company viable, it will unfortunately be necessary to reduce staffing levels.很遗憾,为使行将倒闭的公司继续运转下去,将不得不裁员。

The viable candidate's speech was interrupted by sporadic applause.这个概念进一步泛化用在人、办法、计划等上时,便是指“有望成功的、可实施的、切实可行的”,比如:这位有希望当选的候选人的演说为零零落落的掌声所打断。

I am afraid your feeble plan is not politically viable.恐怕你这站不住脚的计划在政治上行不通。

What I have learned is that if we are to remain a free and viable society, we need to spend less time looking at screens and more time looking into each other's eyes.名人用例
