Game of Thrones · 第 1 季
vocab10 / 186

preferable

/prˈɛfɜrəbəl/B2

更可取的 / 更好的 (adj.)

比 `better` 更有正式感,表示在兩者相權之下「更令人嚮往的、更合適的」。句中調侃雖然風餐露宿很野蠻,但總比被「砍頭」(beheading)要好。

-and I have my crown. -As you wish, Your Grace.
Well, Mormont as brutish as this life is, I suppose it is preferable to beheading.
What did Ned Stark want you for?
