Introverted
“Introverted” 是一个形容词,用来描述一个人的性格特点,即“内向的”。内向的人通常倾向于关注自己的内心思想和情感,而不是寻求外部的刺激或社交活动。他们往往在独处时感到更有活力。
- “As an introverted child, she preferred reading books to playing outside with others.” (作为一个内向的孩子,她更喜欢看书,而不是和别人在外面玩。)
- “He is quite introverted and finds large social gatherings exhausting.” (他相当内向,觉得大型社交聚会非常累人。)
- “Being introverted doesn’t mean being shy; it’s about where you get your energy.” (内向并不意味着害羞;它关乎你从哪里获得能量。)
- 词根:
intro-(向内) +vert(转,来自拉丁语 vertere)。 - 派生: extroverted (外向的), convert (转换), revert (恢复/回归)。
- 后缀:
-ed(形容词后缀)。
性格内向/外向的概念最早由心理学家卡尔·荣格(Carl Jung)提出。在现代社会中,曾经外向性格更受推崇,但随着《安静:内向性格的竞争力》等书籍的流行,人们开始更多地关注内向性格的独特优势,如深度思考和专注力。
