n.|achievement/success/pain/struggle/trial;努力;成就
"effort"是英語中表示"努力"的核心名詞,指為實現目标而主動投入的體力或腦力的能量消耗。根據牛津大學出版社的定義,該詞包含三個維度:①為實現目标投入的體力/腦力(例:通過夜以繼日的工作完成項目);②特定嘗試或成就(例:科研團隊的研究成果);③集體協作産生的力量(例:抗疫期間醫護人員的共同付出)。
劍橋詞典從語言學角度補充:該詞源自古法語"esfort"(意為"力量迸發"),14世紀進入英語後逐漸發展為包含"刻意為之"和"結果産出"的雙重含義。其語法特征表現為既可作可數名詞(an effort),也可作不可數名詞(requires effort)。
心理學研究顯示,有效努力需包含目标設定(goal-setting)、持續投入(persistent engagement)和策略調整(tactical adaptation)三個要素,這解釋了為什麼說"effort"不僅是付出,更是智慧型勞動。在工程領域,ISO 9000标準将"effort"量化為資源投入與成果産出的比值,強調其可測量性。
權威參考文獻:
effort(發音:英 /ˈefət/,美 /ˈefərt/)是英語中高頻使用的名詞,核心含義為“努力、嘗試;成就;費力的事”,既指具體的行動付出,也指抽象的精力和結果。其詞源可追溯至古法語 esforz 和拉丁語 ex fortis(意為“從力量中産生”),強調通過釋放力量達成目标。
① 可數名詞(Countable)
② 不可數名詞(Uncountable)
③ 成就或成果:指努力後的結果。
④ 費力的事:描述需要體力的困難任務。
