illusory
🇺🇸 /ˌɪlˈusɚi/
🇬🇧 /-zə.ɹiː/
illusory 是形容词,表示由错觉造成的、看似真实却并不真实的。
💡 记忆钩子
把 illusory 想成海市蜃楼:眼前仿佛有东西,实际上只是错觉或假象;因此它既可形容虚假的景象,也可形容不可靠、并不存在的希望或安全感。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 illusory 只理解成“视觉上的幻觉”;它也常用于抽象事物,表示某种感觉或想法只是表面真实。
- 它通常强调“看起来真实、其实不真实”,比单纯的 imaginary 更突出欺骗性或误导性。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 虚幻的;由错觉造成的📖 形容某个景象、想法或感觉表面上像真的,实际上是错觉、假象或不可靠的东西。它的核心画面就是“看见了海市蜃楼,却无法真正得到眼前的东西”。💡 常用结构是“illusory + 名词”,例如形容希望、控制感或安全感;也可说“an illusory sense of + 名词”。它多用于书面或较正式的说明,不能简单等同于“imaginary”,因为 illusory 更强调表象造成了误导。The promise of instant success was illusory.一夜成功的承诺只是虚幻的假象。She gained an illusory sense of security from the expensive lock.她因为那把昂贵的锁而产生了一种虚假的安全感。
