vicarious
意味: Experienced through imaginative participation in the feelings or actions of another person, rather than through direct personal involvement.
Vicarious is most often encountered in the phrase 'vicarious pleasure' or 'vicarious thrill,' describing the satisfaction gained by watching or reading about others' experiences. It also has a legal sense meaning 'acting on behalf of another' (vicarious liability). The word captures a distinctly modern phenomenon — the mediated experience of events through media, social networks, and storytelling.
