Slovenliness is the state of being slovenly: messy, untidy, and careless about how you look or how you do a job.

Slovenliness這個字 is是 the state of being slovenly指「slovenly」（邋遢）的這種狀態：messy, untidy亂七八糟、不整潔，and careless about how you look or how you do a job對自己的外表或做事情都馬馬虎虎、不上心。

It is a noun, and a slightly old, judging word. It points to clothes left wrinkled, a room left dirty, work done in a slapdash way — not taking care.

It is它是 a noun名詞，and a slightly old, judging word帶點古老味、又有點評判意味的字。It points to它指的是 clothes left wrinkled皺巴巴沒燙的衣服、a room left dirty沒打掃的髒房間、work done in a slapdash way馬虎交差的工作——not taking care就是不用心。

Dictionaries sometimes fold “lazy” into it, and there is a grain of truth: the person often cannot be bothered. Though actually, the centre of the word is mess and carelessness, not sitting still. That other idea — idle, not wanting to move — is slothfulness, a different family.

Dictionaries sometimes fold "lazy" into it字典有時候會把「懶」也算進去，and there is a grain of truth這也有幾分道理：the person often cannot be bothered這種人常常懶得動手。Though actually不過，the centre of the word is mess and carelessness這個字的重點其實是髒亂和馬虎，not sitting still不是不想動。That other idea — idle, not wanting to move那種「懶散、不想動」的概念 is屬於 slothfulness slothfulness這個字，a different family是不同的家族。
