短释义
Use nuance to refer to a very small difference in color, meaning, or feeling. What makes singers brilliant is not how loud they can sing a note, but how many nuances they can evoke through their approach.
使用细微差别来指代颜色、含义或感觉上的微小差异。使歌手出类拔萃的不是他们能把一个音符唱出多大声,而是他们通过他们的方法能唤起多少细微差别。

长释义
Pronounced “NOO-ahns,” this noun was borrowed from French in the 18th century and derives ultimately from Latin nūbēs “a cloud.” Think of clouds––subtle gradations in color to understand this word. When you say a work of art was nuanced, it means there was a lot to it, but incorporated subtly.
发音为“NOO-ahns”,这个名词在 18 世纪从法语中借用,最终源自拉丁语 nūbēs“云”。想想云——颜色的微妙层次来理解这个词。当你说一件艺术作品有细微差别时,这意味着它有很多,但巧妙地融合在一起。
