想象一台机器停在原地,什么也没做:这种“没有活动”的状态可以指人无所作为,也可以指设备、组织或社会长期没有运转。
📝 学习建议
  • 先把它记成“缺少活动、没有行动”,再根据语境判断是说人的懒散、设备的闲置,还是某项工作的停滞。
  • 它通常带有消极或批评意味,不要自动把它理解成积极的休息或悠闲。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 不活动;闲置;无所作为
    📖 指人、设备、组织或工作没有进行活动、没有采取行动的状态,就像一台机器停在那里不运转;根据语境,也可强调懒散、被闲置或生产停滞。
    💡 常用“a period of inactivity”“prolonged inactivity”或“inactivity caused by ...”来说明持续时间、程度或原因。它通常用于较正式的说明、报道和分析中,不能直接当作动词使用;说人时还要留意它往往暗含批评,而不只是暂时休息。
