Motivated
“Motivated” 是 “motivate” 的过去分词,作形容词表示有积极性的、有内在或外在动力的。常用于描述学习、工作或团队状态,如 “highly motivated students”。
- “She is highly motivated to finish her degree on time.” (她非常有动力按时完成学位。)
- “A motivated team can overcome many obstacles.” (有积极性的团队能克服许多障碍。)
- “Clear goals keep employees motivated and focused.” (明确的目标让员工保持干劲和专注。)
“Motivate” 来自拉丁语 “movere”(移动)的过去分词 “motus”,经 “motivation” 发展而来,核心概念是给予行动的动力。
词根 “motiv-” 与运动、动力相关;后缀 “-ate” 构成动词,“-ed” 作形容词表示“已被激发动机的状态”。
职场与教育中 “stay motivated” 是高频鼓励语;管理学强调内在动机(intrinsic motivation)与外在奖励(extrinsic rewards)对保持 motivated 状态的作用。
- 动词: motivate
- 名词: motivation, motive
- 副词: motivationally
- 固定搭配: “highly motivated” (积极性很高), “motivated by” (受……驱动), “self-motivated” (自我驱动的)
“motive” 动机加上 “-ated” 被赋予了动机——motivated 就是干劲十足的。
“Motivated by her dream of becoming a doctor, she studied every evening after work.” (成为医生的梦想激励着她,每天下班后都坚持学习。)
