- 1慣性;(比喻)惰性、懶得改變的傾向
Inertia is a thing's tendency to keep doing what it's already doing — to keep moving if it's moving, or to keep staying still if it's still — unless something else pushes or pulls it. It's a science word from physics, but people also use it about habits: if you feel too much "inertia" to start exercising, it means it feels hard to get moving out of your current routine, not because you can't, but because staying the same feels easier.
