Mindlessly
“Mindlessly” 是副词,由形容词 “mindless” 派生。它通常指代那些机械性的、不需要动脑筋的行为,或者是那些由于粗心大意而导致的行为。
- “I was scrolling mindlessly through social media for an hour.” (我无意识地刷了一个小时的社交媒体。)
- “He hummed a tune mindlessly while he was working.” (他工作时无意识地哼着小曲。)
- “Don’t just mindlessly follow the instructions; think about why you are doing it.” (不要只是盲目地遵循说明;思考一下你为什么要这样做。)
词根是 “mind”(思想、头脑)。
- 前缀:无。
- 后缀:“-less”(没有)+ “-ly”(副词后缀)。
在快节奏的现代生活中,“无意识消费”或“无意识进食”是常见的健康和财务隐患。“Mindlessly” 的反面是 “mindfully”(有意识地),即主张更有觉察力地生活。
- 形容词:mindless (无心的、盲目的)
- 名词:mindlessness (无意识状态)
- 反义词:mindfully (有意识地)
将其拆分为:mind(脑子)+ less(没)+ ly(地)。也就是“没动脑子地”。
“After a long day at work, Sarah sat on the couch and mindlessly ate a whole bag of chips while watching TV. She wasn’t even hungry; she was just tired and her brain was on autopilot. When the bag was empty, she realized she hadn’t even tasted most of them.” (在工作了一整天后,莎拉坐在沙发上,一边看电视一边无意识地吃掉了一整袋薯片。她甚至不饿;她只是累了,大脑处于自动驾驶状态。当袋子空了时,她才意识到自己根本没尝出大部分薯片的味道。)
