    小知识

    If something is for your edification, watch out! It means it's designed to improve you in some way, whether morally, educationally, or spiritually.

    Originally edification had a strictly religious sense, in the meaning of “building up of the soul,” from the Latin term aedificationem, for “construction” or “building.” From the same word we get edifice, meaning a building, especially a large and imposing one. So, you see, edification is all about efforts to build you into a more sound human being. Children can have a particular dislike for TV shows or books that are considered edifying by their parents or teachers.
