单词 | 负面 |
释义 | 〔pessimism〕"We have seen too much defeatism, too much pessimism, too much of a negative approach"(Margo Jones)“我们看到太多的失败主义、太多的悲观主义和太多的负面倾向”(玛格·琼斯)〔enormity〕Enormity is frequently used to refer simply to the property of being enormous, but many would prefer thatenormousness (or a synonym such as immensity ) be used for this general sense and thatenormity be reserved for a property that evokes a negative moral judgment: Enormity 常被用来只说明巨大、广阔状态的属性, 但很多人都更愿意用enormousness (或是像 immensity 这样的近义词)来表达这种笼统的意义, 并更愿意将enormity 专门留作表达那种能激发负面道德判断的特性: 〔borrow〕To take an unnecessary action that will probably engender adverse effects.自找麻烦:采取一个可能会产生负面效果的不必要的行动〔challenged〕People who object to the termsdisabled and handicapped as being too negative sometimes propose the substitution of challenged instead, as in referring to persons with physical disabilities as physically challenged. While this particular phrase is quite popular, it is sometimes taken to be condescending, and similar usages such as mentally challenged have failed to win equal acceptance. Indeed, the widespread parody of challenged in such expressions as electronically challenged for "inept at using computers" has effectively eliminated it as an all-purpose alternative to disabled or handicapped. 一些觉得使用disabled 和 handicapped 字眼过于负面的人,偶会以委婉的 challenged 代替,如用 physically challenged 指肢体有缺陷。这个特别词汇的使用相当普遍,因为有时会被视为较谦逊的用法,不过相似用法的接受度不一定相同, mentally challenged 这个用法便无法获得相同的认同。事实上,广为流传的 challenged 谐谑用法如以 electronically challenged(计算机残障) 来形容计算机白痴,已使得其全面替代 disabled 或 handicapped 沦为梦想 〔hit〕To affect, especially adversely:尤指负面地影响:〔negative〕Marked by or exhibiting features, such as hostility, that cannot be deemed positive or constructive:反面的,负面的:标记或表现出的特征,如敌意,不被认为是积极的和具建设性的:〔negative〕conducted a negative campaign against his opponent.对他的对手进行负面打击〔weather〕To discolor, disintegrate, wear, or otherwise affect adversely by exposure.风干,褪色:暴露使褪色、解体、消耗或负面受影响 |
