以下是《纽约时报》中使用该词的例句：从2010年代初他还是芝加哥一名少年说唱歌手时，Chief Keef就在Instagram上大量发布自我记录内容，如今这些几乎都已消失。业余档案管理员兼职业平面设计师Edouard Taverner Perez创建了SosaArchive，这是一本限量版艺术书籍，汇集了从Keef的Instagram中提取的数千张照片，以视觉上和谐统一的12宫格形式呈现。simpatico一词最终源自拉丁语名词sympatia（意为同情），是从意大利语simpatico和西班牙语simpático借入英语的。在这些语言中，该词主要用于描述受欢迎或易于相处的人。

Here's the word used in a sentence from the New York Times. From the early 2010s when he was a young teen rapper in Chicago, Chief Keef was flooding his Instagram with self documentation, all of which is essentially gone now. Enter Edouard Taverner Perez, an amateur archivist and professional graphic designer who compiled SosaArchive, a limited run art book that gathers several thousand photos pulled from Keefe's Instagram, presenting them in visually simpatico grids of 12. The word simpatico, which comes ultimately from the Latin noun sympatia, meaning sympathy, was borrowed into English from both the Italian sympatico and the Spanish sympatico. In those languages, the word has been chiefly used to describe people who are well liked or easy to get along with.

英语中该词的早期用法继承了其源语言的含义，如亨利·詹姆斯1881年小说《一位女士的画像》中，一个角色谈到另一个角色垂死的表亲时说：'啊，他是如此讨人喜欢，我为你感到非常难过。'然而近年来，这个词获得了新的含义，用来形容相处融洽或合作无间的事物或人。我是彼得·索科洛夫斯基，为您带来每日一词。请访问merriamwebster.com获取定义、文字游戏和热门词汇查询。

Early uses of the word in English reflected those of their forebears, as in Henry James's 1881 novel The Portrait of a Lady, in which one character says of another's dying cousin, Ah, he was so simpatico, I'm awfully sorry for you. In recent years, however, the word has gained an additional sense describing things or people who get along well or work well together. With your Word of the Day, I'm Peter Sokolowski.
