Manageable

Manageable 描述一项任务、一个问题或一种情况在能力范围之内,可以通过努力或技巧来控制和完成。它强调“不过分困难”和“可控性”。

  1. “We need to break the project down into manageable tasks.” (我们需要将项目分解为易于管理的小任务。)
  2. “The doctor said the symptoms are manageable with the right medication.” (医生说只要用对药,症状是可以控制的。)
  3. “Is the workload manageable, or do you need some help?” (工作量还能应付得了吗,还是需要帮忙?)
  • manage: 源自意大利语 maneggiare,原指“训练(马匹)”,最终源自拉丁语 manus(手)。
  • -able: 形容词后缀,表示“能够……的”。
  • 后缀: -able
  • 同根词: management (管理), manager (经理)。

在现代职场和自我管理语境中,manageable 是一个非常关键的词。它与 “stress levels”(压力水平)和 “work-life balance”(工作生活平衡)密切相关。

  • 名词形式: manageability
  • 反义词: unmanageable (难以管理的)

Manage(管理)+ -able(能……的)= 容易管理的。想象你手里(manus)握着缰绳,一切尽在掌握。
