"knowing" in Chinese (Traditional)
Definition
如果一個眼神、微笑或評論是 knowing 的，表示這個人明白某個沒有直接說出來的意思，比如祕密、玩笑或隱藏含義。它也可以形容一個人顯得很有經驗、很懂情況，或帶著一點刻意的機靈感。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))
它最常出現在名詞前，如 'a knowing smile'、'a knowing look'、'a knowing glance'。它在書面語和較講究的表達中比在日常隨意口語中更常見。不要和動詞用法混淆，比如 'knowing the answer'；這裡它是形容詞，表示察覺到某種隱藏含義。
