【articulate】​
今天文章是由三篇小文中的第二篇，延續上一篇的文章，主題是：The Board’s Role in Sustainability主要介紹SCORE這個框架，score是由simplify, connect, own, reward, and exemplify五個字所簡稱的。詳細內容大家有興趣可以再點留言中的連結看唷～​
​
回到單字本身，​
​
今天要跟大家介紹的是這個單字：​
​
『articulate』​
​
第一眼看到的時候，會覺得很像article。所以我也順便來補充一下article的用法。（這邊我沒有去查他們的字首是否來自同源，歡迎大家補充分享～）​
​
article是一個可數名詞，大家一般記得的中文為：n. 文章。​
但其實它還有很多其他意思喔，​
1. 物品或商品​
例句：Guests are advised not to leave any articles of value in their hotel rooms.（from Cambridge dictionary）​
2. 冠詞​
3. 條文 ​
例如：the article of the UN Charter 聯合國憲章的一個條款​
​
說完大眾臉article，我們回來說articulate。​
『articulate』可以當作動詞或是形容詞，​
v. pronounce or say distinctly ​
a. able to speak clearly ​
轉變為n. 時，是指articulation n. 表達​
例句：He made a clear articulation of his aims. ​
​
獻上本文例句：SCORE outlines five actions—simplify, connect, own, reward, and exemplify—that can help boards articulate and foster a firm’s durable value proposition and its drivers.​

今日小心得：
在一個明明是假日卻工作到晚上11點的日子，耗盡最後一分腦力寫出整理，覺得寫得很爛ＱＱ​，希望大家多多包涵～也歡迎一起響應每天閱讀的習慣唷！
