1. 1aB1/ʌnˈɪntrəstɪd/ · /ʌnˈɪntrɪstɪd/不感興趣的

    Not interested in something, so you do not want to know about it, listen to it, or give it your attention.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo is uninterested in football, but he never misses a science show.

    逐字里歐對足球不感興趣,但他從不錯過科學節目。

    「uninterested」可以想成就是 un-(沒有)加上 interested(有興趣的)——那股把你注意力拉過去的力量不在了。它常帶一點「聽到了但沒放在心上」的感覺,所以除了心裡沒興趣,臉上和語氣也看得出來(an uninterested voice 就是很敷衍的聲音)。後面接 in:uninterested in science。要小心 disinterested:它多半不是「更不感興趣」,而是「公正、沒有私心」的意思,例如 a disinterested judge(不偏袒的裁判)。

core核心畫面

You can picture the moment attention simply does not switch on. Someone puts a thing in front of you — a plan, a story, a piece of news — and nothing inside you leans toward it. You are not against it and you are not bored to the point of pain; you just have no pull to find out more, so your eyes and your questions go elsewhere.

可以想成注意力就是沒有被打開的那一刻。別人把一件事放到你面前——一個計畫、一則消息、一段故事——而你心裡沒有任何往前傾的動作。不是反對,也不一定是煩,只是沒有想多知道一點的那股拉力,於是眼睛和問題自然都轉向別的地方。這個字是 interested 前面加上 un-,就是把那股「想知道」直接關掉。
