我们可以用 handy 来形容“某样东西方便实用、能派上用场”。尤其可用在某物或某人在没有预料到的场合里出现或给予他人帮助的语境里。

例句

It would be handy if you could clear up in the kitchen, then I can start making dinner.

That's handy - I've just found £20 in my pocket. Now we don't need to go the cash machine, we can go straight to the cinema.

请注意

在英语里，我们把能做一些简单装修、维修或杂活的人称为 handyman。

例句

I'm no good at putting up shelves; I think I'll just get a handyman in.

We've got to redecorate the bedroom. Shall we do it ourselves or get a handyman in?
