1. 这是什么词？       

词：approachable   

英英释义：easy to talk to or deal with   

例句：My English teacher is professional, knowledgeable, and above all, approachable. 

2. 为什么选这个词？   

“approachable”是“approach”的形容词形式，字面意思是“能够被接近的”，在一些语境下可以引申为我们常说的“接地气”。   

我们说一个人很“接地气”，往往是在说他很平易近人，不摆架子，这时候就可以用 approachable。比如我们想夸一个人为人友善，除了用 friendly 也可以用 approachable：   

My English teacher is professional, knowledgeable, and above all, approachable.   

我们说一个主意或方法很“接地气”，往往是说这个主意或方法通俗易懂、容易被大众接受，这时候我们也可以用的上 approachable。比如我们想夸一个教材或写作风格通俗易懂又有趣，就可以说：   

This textbook is informative, engaging, and best of all, approachable.   

英国大厨 Jamie Oliver 给人感觉非常亲民，烹饪的食物也能被普通大众接受，他的官方网站上介绍他时就用到了 approachable：   

James Trevor Oliver MBE is a British chef and restaurateur. His approachable cuisine has seen him front numerous television shows and open many restaurants.     

3. 怎样学会使用这个词？       

1）翻译下面的句子：       

尽管她是一线明星，她依然很接地气。   

Although she is a star of first-line, she is approachable.

（参考翻译：Although she is an A-list celebrity, she remains approachable and down-to-earth. 或者 Despite being a superstar, she maintains an approachable demeanor.）   

down-to-earth: if you say that someone is down-to-earth, you approve of the fact that they concern themselves with practical things and actions, rather than with abstract theories.［approval］现实，务实，切合实际的

demeanor: a person's appearance and behavior行为，举止，风度

2）结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景，再造句。       

场景:尽管他很优秀，他也很平易近人

造句:Although he is extraordinary, he is also approachable.
