Significado: An enthusiastic and dedicated supporter or follower of a particular activity, interest, or person.

某项活动、兴趣或人物的热心且忠诚的支持者或追随者。

Seguidor entusiasta y entregado de una actividad, interés o persona en particular.

特定の活動、趣味、または人物に対する熱心で献身的な支持者・愛好者のこと。

특정 활동, 관심사, 또는 인물에 대한 열성적이고 헌신적인 지지자 또는 애호가.

Devotee implies passionate commitment and is warmer than 'adherent' but less extreme than 'fanatic.' It is most commonly used for cultural pursuits, hobbies, and cuisine — a devotee of opera, a devotee of French cooking. In religious contexts it retains its original sense of fervent spiritual dedication. The word is almost always followed by 'of.'

devotee暗示热情的投入，比'adherent（拥护者）'更带感情色彩，但不如'fanatic（狂热者）'那么极端。它最常用于文化追求、爱好和美食——歌剧爱好者、法国料理爱好者。在宗教语境中，它保留了虔诚的灵性奉献之原意。该词后面几乎总是跟介词'of'。

Devotee implica un compromiso apasionado: es más cálido que «adherent» pero menos extremo que «fanatic». Se emplea sobre todo para actividades culturales, aficiones y gastronomía: a devotee of opera, a devotee of French cooking. En contextos religiosos conserva su sentido original de fervorosa dedicación espiritual. Casi siempre va seguido de «of».

devoteeは情熱的な献身を意味し、「adherent（支持者）」よりも温かみがあるが「fanatic（狂信者）」ほど極端ではない。文化的な趣味、ホビー、料理に最もよく用いられ、「オペラの愛好者」「フランス料理の信奉者」のように使う。宗教的文脈では、もともとの熱心な精神的献身の意味を保っている。ほぼ常に「of」が後に続く。

Devotee는 열정적인 헌신을 함축하며, 'adherent'보다 따뜻하지만 'fanatic'만큼 극단적이지는 않다. 문화적 취미, 취미 활동, 요리 분야에서 가장 흔하게 사용된다 — a devotee of opera, a devotee of French cooking. 종교적 맥락에서는 열렬한 영적 헌신이라는 원래의 의미를 유지한다. 이 단어 뒤에는 거의 항상 'of'가 온다.
