languor 指身心的倦怠、无精打采、慵懒的状态,常带有一种缓慢、提不起劲的感觉。(也可指文风、气氛等“柔靡、懒散”的特质。)
/ˈlæŋɡər/
After lunch, a pleasant languor made it hard to focus on work.
午饭后,一种愉悦的倦怠感让人很难专心工作。
In the humid afternoon heat, the whole town seemed to sink into a heavy languor, slowing every step and every thought.
在潮湿的午后热浪里,整座小镇仿佛陷入沉重的慵懒之中,让每一步、每一个念头都变得迟缓。
来自拉丁语 languor(虚弱、疲乏),与 languēre(变得虚弱、无力)有关;同源词还见于 languid(无精打采的)。该词在英语中常用来描写一种“软绵绵的疲惫感”,既可为身体,也可为精神或氛围。
