昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享詞匯是feature，大家都知道 feature意為“特色，特征”， 或在報紙上表示“特別報道”， 那看看下面這段新聞節選：
Sony Pictures has contacted some US news outlets in an attempt to limit the damage caused by the hacking of its internal computer system last month. It is believed that the attack was triggered by Sony’s new film The Interview, a comedy that features a plot to assassinate North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un.
我們發現， 以上提到的feature的釋義， 放在此文章里都不合適， 那這里的feature到底是何意？ Feature在此作動詞：If something features in something such as a show, exhibition, or magazine, they are an important part of it. 即：是 (展覽、雜志等) 的重要內容， 也就是The Interview（電影《刺殺金正恩》）的主要情節是什么。 再如： The exhibition features paintings by contemporary artists. 同樣， feature還可表示擔任主演： She featured in Cameron’s new film.
在新3 的完美講義中曾有這樣的翻譯練習：我被她五官的清秀吸引了。-- I was attracted by the delicacy of her features（NCE3- L23）. Feature 又成為 “面部的一部分” （如鼻﹑ 口﹑ 眼）的意思：one of the named parts of the face (e.g. nose, mouth, eyes) which together form. its appearance。復數形式features 即是“容貌”的。 還是那句嘮叨的話， 詞意要看上下文~
