  1. 1aB2/ˌʌnriːəˈlɪstɪk/ · /ˌʌnrɪəˈlɪstɪk/不切實際

    Used about a hope, a plan, a goal, or an expectation that is not sensible because it is too far from what can really happen, or asks for far more than the time, help, or skill available.

    示範例句 · Example

    It's unrealistic to expect a new language to feel easy after two weeks.

    逐字期待一個新語言在兩個星期之後感覺容易，是不切實際的。

    unrealistic 講的是「想法或期待對不上現實」——不是說它不好，也不是說它不可能，而是照現在的時間、能力和條件，它落不了地。可以想成 un-（不）+ real（真實）+ -istic（符合…的）：一個計畫沒有貼著現實走。最常配的名詞是 expectations、goals、targets、plans；也很常用 It is unrealistic to + 原形動詞 這個句型。比 impossible 溫和很多：impossible 是永遠辦不到，unrealistic 是「這樣安排辦不到」，換個目標、多給一點時間就可以。

core核心畫面

A plan or a hope held up against the real world — and the two do not match. The real world has only so much time, money, and help; the plan on the paper asks for much more. Calling something unrealistic is not saying it is bad, only that from here, with what we have, it cannot get there.

有人手裡拿著一張計畫或一個願望，把它舉起來跟眼前的真實世界比對——結果兩邊對不上。真實世界裡只有這麼多時間、這麼多錢、這麼多人手，但那張紙上要的遠遠超過；或者事情發生的方式，根本不像紙上寫的那樣。un- 就是「對不上」的那一刀：real 的部分是外面那個世界，unrealistic 是你手上這張紙離它太遠。所以說某個目標 unrealistic，不是在說它不好、不美，而是在說：照現在手上的條件，它到不了。
