When we call an idea, a plan, or a method misconceived, we mean it was built on a wrong picture of the facts — so it is not a good plan, even if the person meant well. The work may look tidy; the starting thought was wrong.

When we call an idea, a plan, or a method misconceived當我們說一個想法、計畫，或方法是misconceived的，we mean it was built on a wrong picture of the facts我們的意思是它是建立在對事實錯誤的理解上——so it is not a good plan所以這不是一個好計畫，even if the person meant well就算這個人的出發點是好的也一樣。The work may look tidy成果可能看起來很整齊；the starting thought was wrong但一開始的想法就是錯的。

It is fairly formal. Teachers, critics, and people in offices use it.

It is fairly formal它算是相當正式的字。Teachers, critics, and people in offices老師、評論家，和辦公室裡的人 use it會用這個字。

It is not the same as silly, badly made, or badly run: those judge the finish. Misconceived judges the seed.

It is not the same as silly, badly made, or badly run它跟silly（愚蠢）、badly made（做得差）或badly run（辦得差）不一樣：those judge the finish這些詞評斷的是完成後的成果。Misconceived judges the seedmisconceived評斷的是最一開始的那顆種子。

You can misconceive something (a rarer verb), and then the plan is misconceived. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it to mean only “I dislike this idea.” The careful meaning is narrower: this idea rests on a mistake about how the world is.

You can misconceive something你可以misconceive某件事 (a rarer verb)（這個動詞比較少見），and then the plan is misconceived然後這個計畫就是misconceived的。Though actually不過實際上，people sometimes stretch it有時候人們會把這個字用得更寬鬆 to mean only 'I dislike this idea'只是拿來表示「我不喜歡這個想法」。The careful meaning is narrower精確一點的意思其實比較窄：this idea rests on a mistake about how the world is指這個想法是建立在對這個世界的一個誤解之上。
