Motive是指動機、目的,Motif則是指圖案、中心思想。有時會將Motif寫成Motive,但這是很少見的用法。 例:The monologue's motif was about truth and honesty. = The monologue's motive was about truth and honesty. (這場獨腳戲的主題是真相和誠實。)=>很少見的用法 例:I didn't have a motive to join the team. I just thought it would be fun. (我加入這團隊沒有什麼目的,只是覺得這很有趣。) 例:Did they find out the motive for the murder? (他們是否已找出這起謀殺案的動機?)
