1. 1難以辨認的;無法解讀的

    If something is indecipherable, you cannot read it or work out what it means. Wet ink, tiny handwriting, a code with no key, a mumbled line on a bad recording — all can be indecipherable.

    If如果 something某樣東西 is indecipherable是indecipherable的, you你 cannot read就沒辦法讀它 or work out what it means或搞不懂它的意思. Wet ink濕掉的墨水, tiny handwriting極小的字跡, a code with no key沒有金鑰的密碼, a mumbled line on a bad recording爛錄音裡含糊的一句話 — all這些 can be都可能是 indecipherableindecipherable的

    It is stronger than “messy” or “hard to read.” Hard to read means you might get there with time. Indecipherable means you are stuck.

    It它 is stronger than語氣比...更重 "messy"「messy」(雜亂) or or "hard to read.""hard to read"(難讀). "Hard to read""hard to read" means是指 you你 might get there with time花時間可能還是能讀懂. IndecipherableIndecipherable means則是指 you你 are stuck完全卡住了

    Though actually, people stretch it. A look, a poem, or a set of rules can be called indecipherable when the speaker really means “I cannot make sense of this,” not that the letters themselves fail. That looser use is common and a bit dramatic.

    Though actually不過, people人們 stretch it也會延伸使用它. A look一個眼神, a poem一首詩, or or a set of rules一套規則 can be called都可能被稱為 indecipherableindecipherable when這時 the speaker說話者 really means真正的意思是 "I cannot make sense of this,"「我搞不懂這個」 not不是 that the letters themselves fail字母本身有問題. That looser use這種比較鬆的用法 is common很常見, and也 a bit dramatic有點誇張

    The word is not slang, and it is not rare; you will see it in news and novels.

    The word這個字 is not不是 slang俚語, and而 it它 is not rare也不罕見; you你 will see it會看到它 in news and novels在新聞和小說裡
