短释义：
In E.B. White’s classic children’s book Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte the spider tells Wilbur the pig that she is versatile. “What does ‘versatile’ mean — full of eggs?” Wilbur asks. “Certainly not,” Charlotte replies. “‘Versatile’ means I can turn with ease from one thing to another.” Charlotte knew her etymology, because the word reflects its Latin root, versatilis, “turning around; revolving.” It eventually came to describe someone who is multi-talented: a singer-songwriter-actress-model would be a versatile figure in the entertainment world.
要描述一个人或事物可以适应做很多事情或提供多种功能，请考虑形容词Versatile。

在 EB White 的经典儿童读物《夏洛特的网》中，蜘蛛夏洛告诉小猪威尔伯，她是多才多艺的。 “‘多才多艺’是什么意思——充满鸡蛋？”威尔伯问道。 “当然不是，”夏洛特回答道。 “‘多才多艺’意味着我可以轻松地从一件事转向另一件事。”夏洛特知道她的词源，因为这个词反映了它的拉丁词根，versatilis，“转身；旋转”。它最终用来形容一个多才多艺的人：歌手、词曲作者、演员兼模特将是娱乐界的多才多艺的人物。
