Amatory的释义是sexual love 改成romantic love了,矛盾吗

昨天的word of the day推荐的单词是amatory,然后我发现英文解释给改了。AHD
一个版本是sexual love
新的版本是romantic love

还没想明白哪个好~ :partying_face: :partying_face: :partying_face:

不能赞同更多,Longman 是一本真正的“学习者”词典 :smile:

sexual居多

更好。romantic词义更丰富,且包含了sexual词义。参见:
amatory: 1590s, “pertaining to love, expressive of love” (especially sexual love), from Latin amatorius “loving, amorous,” from amatus, past participle of amare “to love” (see Amy). Related: Amatorial.
Online Etymology Dictionary 2020

romantic: connected with or about love or a sexual relationship
