這個詞最早出現(xiàn)在16世紀(jì),最初指一些由于振動而產(chǎn)生聲音或運動的東西。后來它也指一些具有強烈色彩或光澤的東西。還有一些引申義指一些充滿活力或激情的人或事物。
有一些方法可以幫助您記住這個詞:
通過聯(lián)想法:您可以把vibrant和其他有關(guān)的詞匯聯(lián)系起來,比如vibrate(震動),violin(小提琴),vitamin(維生素),vision(愿景)。您可以想象一個小提琴手用弓子摩擦琴弦產(chǎn)生了震動和美妙的聲音,他身上散發(fā)著維生素般的活力和熱情,他眼中閃爍著對未來的美好愿景。這樣就可以把vibrant和它的意思聯(lián)系起來。
通過構(gòu)詞法:您可以把vibrant分解成前綴vi-和后綴-brant。前綴vi-表示“生命”,后綴-brant來自于burn(燃燒),所以vibrant就是“生命在燃燒”的意思。這樣就可以從詞根上理解這個詞的含義?!菊`】

The word vibrant comes from Latin vibrantem, which means “swaying” or “vibrating”, from vibrare, which means “to move to and fro”. It is related to a Proto-Indo-European root *weip-, which means “to turn, vacillate, tremble ecstatically”.
The word vitamin comes from Latin vita, which means “l(fā)ife”, from a Proto-Indo-European root *gwei-, which means “to live”. It also has the suffix -amine, which refers to compounds derived from ammonia. The word was coined by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk in 1912.
