無解盤點：11個無法翻譯的外語單詞
The relationship between words and their meaning is a fascinating one, and linguists have spent countless years deconstructing it, taking it apart letter by letter, and trying to figure out why there are so many feelings and ideas that we cannot even put words to.
單詞與意義之間的關係非常奇妙，語言學家耗費多年精力將單詞解構、一個字母一個字母地拆開，試圖弄懂爲什麼有些感覺和思想沒法用單詞表述出來。
We've illustrated 11 of these wonderful, elusive, words - which have no single word within the English language that could be considered a direct translation. We will definitely be trying to incorporate a few of them into our everyday conversations, and hope that you enjoy recognising a feeling or two of your own among them.
