小知识
Use the adjective gentle to describe something that is soothing or kind, like a person with a tender nature or the soft sound of light rain.
The word gentle traces back to the Latin word gentlis, meaning “of the same clan,” and at first the world was used to describe people belonging to distinguished families, who were seen as courteous and noble. Nowadays you’re more likely to hear the word used to refer to things that are calm, moderate, and without harshness. The word is often applied to people, but it can be used more broadly to describe anything that is mild, such as “a gentle detergent” or “a gentle reminder.”
