Calculating

“Calculating” 可指正在做数学或逻辑运算,如 calculating the total cost(计算总成本);作形容词时指精明、冷静甚至工于心计,如 a calculating smile(算计意味的微笑)。

  1. “The app is calculating your route based on live traffic.” (应用正根据实时路况计算你的路线。)

  3. “His calculating approach made colleagues uneasy during negotiations.” (谈判中他那精于算计的做派让同事不安。)

来自拉丁语 calculare(用石子计数),calculus 原指小石子,与 calculus(微积分)同源。

“-ate” 构成动词;“-ing” 表示正在计算的过程,或持续表现出的算计特质。

数学与编程离不开 calculating;在 spinner 文案里,“calculating” 常字面化地暗示 AI 正在运算、推敲;作形容词时则提醒社交中的“冷血精明”色彩。

  • 固定搭配: “calculating risk” (评估风险), “calculating mind” (精于算计的头脑)
  • 原形: calculate
  • 名词: calculation, calculator

“calcul(石子计数)+ ate + ing”:用小石子一遍遍数——calculating 就是正在计算/盘算。
