moment n.
根据腾讯官方的翻译,朋友圈的英文竟然不是Friends Circle。朋友圈竟然没有“朋友”,它是另外一个单词,就是moments。为什么朋友圈叫Moments呢?微信朋友圈的功能,不就是分享自己的和看看别人的“片刻”和“瞬间”,所以就是很多个moment,自然就是moments。
moment的词源义是“运动、移动”(to move),词义引申为“片刻、瞬间”。事物的不断运动造成事物的不断变化,从而有了“瞬间、转瞬即逝”的说法。
① 某一时刻 a particular point in time:
at this / that moment
from that moment on
The best moment for the football star was when he scored the winning goal. 2014 北京

One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension.
the moment (that)[引导时间状语从句,相当于连词as soon as]一……(就…… ):
Alisha fell asleep the moment she got into bed.
organize / organise
来自organ,运行、器官、组织机构;-ize:使,即使有组织运行,引申词义“组织;安排”。
① vt 组织;筹备 to plan an event, activity, etc.:
