We've got a question from one of our listeners.

我们收到了一位听众的问题。

可以帮忙区分以下形容词

Can you help distinguish the following adjectives?

indifferent, uninterested, apathetic和nonchalant的用法吗?

The usage of indifferent, uninterested, apathetic, and nonchalant?

谢谢。

Thank you.

What ties all of these words together

What connects all of these words?

is that they're all words to describe

is that they're all words to describe

a person's lack of interest or enthusiasm,

a person's lack of interest or enthusiasm,

but there are definitely some differences.

但确实存在一些差异。

是的,这个问题提到了四个

Yes, this question mentioned four.

和对某事没有兴趣

Not interested in something.

或对某事缺少热情这个意思相关的形容词。

Adjectives related to the meaning of lacking enthusiasm for something.

而这些单词虽然意思相近,

Although these words have similar meanings,

在使用上却有不小的区别。

There are quite significant differences in usage.

我们首先来看看和interested,感兴趣的,

Let's first take a look at "interested" and "to be interested in."

意思相反的uninterested,不感兴趣的。

The opposite meaning of "uninterested" is "interested."

uninterested是由单词interested

Uninterested is derived from the word interested.

加上前缀un组成的。

Formed by adding the prefix un.

这个前缀在英语中通常用来组成

This prefix is commonly used in English to form.

形容词或副词的反义词。

Antonyms of adjectives or adverbs.

Exactly. So we hope our listeners are interested,

Exactly. So we hope our listeners are interested.

not uninterested in this program.

not uninterested in this program.

Let's hear more examples.

Let's hear more examples.

He was uninterested in the history lesson

他对历史课不感兴趣。

and stared out the window instead.

并转而凝视窗外。

I suggested we do a picnic this weekend,

I suggested we do a picnic this weekend.

but they were uninterested in the plan.

但他们对这个计划不感兴趣。

在上面的例子中,词组uninterested in something

In the example above, the phrase "uninterested in something."

的意思是对某事不感兴趣的。

It means not interested in something.

它的反义词interested也有同样的用法,

Its antonym "interested" has the same usage.

interested in something,

interested in something,

意思就是对某事感兴趣。

It means to be interested in something.

Now, indifferent is similar

Now, indifference is similar.

because it implies a lack of interest,

因为这意味着缺乏兴趣，

but it's more about a lack of any strong feelings.

但这更多是关于缺乏任何强烈的感情。

If you're indifferent about something,

If you're indifferent about something,

it means you don't care either way.

这意味着你无论如何都不在乎。

For example, I'm not really a big fan of football,

For example, I'm not really a big fan of football.

so I'm usually indifferent about who wins the match.

So I'm usually indifferent about who wins the match.

I have to say I feel the same way.

I have to say I feel the same way.

Indifferent的意思是冷漠的,漠不关心的。

Indifferent means apathetic and unconcerned.

它和uninterested的意思类似,

It is similar in meaning to uninterested.

也可以用来表达,

It can also be used to express,

对某事不感兴趣。

Not interested in something.

但indifferent强调的是对某事并不关心或没有喜悟,

But "indifferent" emphasizes a lack of concern or lack of preference for something.

特别是对事物的走向或结果并不在意,

Especially not caring about the direction or outcome of things,

具有一定的感情色彩。

Has a certain emotional connotation.

比如,Georgie刚刚提到他并不爱看足球,

For example, Georgie just mentioned that he doesn't like watching soccer.

所以也就并不关心今晚的比赛是谁获胜。

So I don't really care who wins the match tonight.

这时就可以使用indifferent这个词来形容自己的态度。

At this time, the word "indifferent" can be used to describe one's attitude.

来听接下来的例句。

Come listen to the following example sentences.

上面的例子中,indifferent被用来表示对某一件事的选择或结果毫不在意。

In the above example, "indifferent" is used to indicate a lack of concern for the choice or outcome of a particular matter.

它还可以组成词组,indifferent to something,

It can also form the phrase, indifferent to something.

意思是对某事漠不关心。

It means being indifferent to something.

接下来我们要介绍的第三个单词,apathetic,

The third word we are going to introduce is apathetic.

意思为,

It means that,

漠不关心的,

indifferent,

无动于衷的。

Apathetic.

这个词和indifferent与uninterested相比,

This word compared to indifferent and uninterested,

强调失去了兴趣的事物或行为非常重要,

It is very important to emphasize things or behaviors that have lost interest.

或失去兴趣后的做法格外消极。

The behavior after losing interest is particularly negative.

Yes, apathy is a deep disinterest in what's going on around you.

是的，冷漠是对周围发生的事情深深的不感兴趣。

Not only that, it implies a lack of motivation or willingness to take action.

Not only that, it implies a lack of motivation or willingness to take action.

Because of this, it can be a sign of decline in someone's mental health.

从上面的例子我们可以看出,

From the above example, we can see that,

和apathetic这个词是,

The word "apathetic" is.

所表达出的消极的意愿不同,

The expressed negative intentions are different.

nonchalant,满不在乎,漠不关心,

nonchalant, indifferent, unconcerned

强调的则是某人的行为或表面上看起来冷静和放松,

but he arrived in a very nonchalant way,

但他的到来非常冷漠。

是的,当一个人明明做了一件令人尴尬的事情,

Yes, when a person clearly does something embarrassing,

却显得非常冷静,并不为此感到困扰时,

yet appeared very calm and was not troubled by it,

就可以用nonchalant来形容这种表现。

It can be described as nonchalant.

来听接下来的例句。

Come and listen to the following example sentences.

She gave a nonchalant shrug when asked about the missing report,

她在被问及缺失的报告时轻描淡写地耸了耸肩。

not showing any concern.

不表现出任何关心。

Despite the chaos around him,

Despite the chaos around him,

he remained nonchalant,

他依然无所谓，

sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper.

Sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper.

在上面的例子中,

In the above example,

大家可以看到,

Everyone can see that,

nonchalant不但可以用来形容人,

Nonchalant can not only be used to describe people,

还可以用来形容某个动作或行为。

It can also be used to describe a certain action or behavior.

比如,例子中的nonchalant shrug,

For example, the nonchalant shrug in the example,

满不在乎的耸肩。

A shrug of indifference.

但需要注意的是,

But it should be noted that,

英语中,nonchalant这个词一般用来形容他人,

In English, the word "nonchalant" is generally used to describe others.

不常用来形容自己。

Not often used to describe oneself.

I don't think you're very nonchalant, Bully.

我觉得你并不是很不在乎，霸凌者。
