💡 深入解读
She is slightly myopic, but she is as sleek and elegant as any other shrewd businesswoman.Myopic 一词由 myopia (近视)+形容词后缀 -ic 构成,其基本含义为“近视的、看不远的”,相对于英式英语常用的 shortsighted 和美式英语常用的 nearsighted 而言, myopic 较为正式,比如:她稍微有点儿近视,但她和其他精明的女商人一样外表时髦,举止优雅。
The Government still has a myopic and complacent attitude to spending.同 shortsighted 一样, myopic 也很自然地从近视这个概念引申出“目光短浅的、缺乏远见的”的含义,比如:政府在开支问题上仍然目光短浅和满不在乎。
Their myopic refusal to act now makes the future look grim.他们目光短浅,不肯现在行动,使得未来一片渺茫。
另外,近视的人除了可以用 a myopic person 表示以外,还可以用专门的单词 myope 表示。
