Klutz
“Klutz” 指的是一个人动作不协调，经常打碎东西、绊倒或发生小意外。这是一个非正式的、通常带有一点自嘲或幽默感的词。
- “I’m such a klutz; I’ve already dropped three glasses today.” (我真是个笨手笨脚的人；今天我已经打碎三个杯子了。)
- “He’s a bit of a klutz on the dance floor, but he tries his best.” (他在舞池里有点笨手笨脚，但他已经尽力了。)
- “Don’t let that klutz carry the expensive vase!” (别让那个笨手笨脚的人搬那个昂贵的花瓶！)
源自意第绪语 “klots”，原意为“木块、木桩”。
“Klutz” 是一个外来语词根。
“Klutz” 这个词在美式英语中非常流行，部分归功于它生动的发音和源于意第绪语的幽默感。它描绘的那种笨拙通常是无伤大雅的，甚至是可爱的。

发音类似于 clutch。想象一个人在 clutch（抓紧）东西时手滑了，就像一个笨拙的木头块（klutz）。
“Arthur was a brilliant scientist, but in everyday life, he was a total klutz. He could solve complex equations on the board, yet he constantly tripped over his own feet or spilled coffee on his notes. His colleagues used to say that his brain was just too busy exploring the stars to worry about where his hands were.” (亚瑟是一位才华横溢的科学家，但在日常生活中，他是个彻头彻尾的笨蛋。他可以在黑板上解复杂的方程式，但他却总是绊倒或把咖啡洒在笔记上。他的同事常说，他的大脑太忙于探索星空了，以至于没空担心他的手在哪儿。)
