學個詞:"Legend"


A legend. Unlike King Arthur and characters from myths and legends, who didn't really exist - you'll also hear the word 'legend' used to describe people around you. In British slang, we say someone is a legend if they do something very helpful, very generous or very successfully.


A: Hey, I found your car keys.

B: Oh great - you're a legend. I've been looking for an hour!


He's a legend. He drove me to the airport at 5am.


Legend原意是指傳說故事或傳說中的人物,但在英國的口語裡指的是一個稱讚,幫上大忙或慷慨的大好人、也可指極受歡迎的人。


而Legend原也是商標名,是科技公司聯想集團Lenovo的原名,因legend一詞在歐洲使用太廣,各行各業都有以名此註冊,在2004年改為Lenovo,le來自原字,novo來自"nova"新意,意指聯想由傳奇走向創新。
