Feat
“Feat” 指需要能力、勇气或技巧才能完成的非凡行为。它常用于体育、工程、探险等强调“难度高”的场景。
- “Climbing the cliff in winter was an incredible feat.” (在冬天攀登那座悬崖是一项令人惊叹的壮举。)
- “Launching the satellite ahead of schedule was a major feat for the team.” (提前发射卫星对团队来说是一项重大成就。)
- “Finishing the marathon after an injury was a personal feat.” (受伤后仍完成马拉松是他个人的壮举。)
“Feat” 来自法语相关词源，早期与“行为、功绩”有关，现代常聚焦“杰出成就”。
该词较短且整体性强，现代英语中通常作为不可再拆分的词汇整体记忆。
英语媒体常用 “a remarkable feat” 评价技术突破或体育表现，语气比 “success” 更强调难度和实力。
- 复数: “feats”
- 固定搭配: “an engineering feat” (工程壮举), “a feat of strength” (力量壮举)
可把 “feat” 和 “feet”（脚）做发音联想：靠“脚下功夫”完成难事，是一项 feat。
“Building a bridge across the deep valley in only six months was a feat the whole country celebrated.” (仅用六个月就在深谷上建成大桥，是全国都在庆祝的壮举。)
