shortcomings

更新时间:2026-05-30 05:52:38   栏目: 在线翻译

shortcoming 的英式音标为 /ˈʃɔːtkʌmɪŋ/,美式音标为 /ˈʃɔːrtkʌmɪŋ/,是名词,核心含义为“缺点、短处”,指人或事物存在的不足或不完善之处,强调内在的缺陷而非暂时的缺失 。

用法特点

搭配场景:常用于描述人、事物、系统或方法的局限性,可与“指出”“承认”“克服”等动词搭配,如“point out shortcomings”(指出缺点)、“overcome shortcomings”(克服不足)。

复数形式:表示多个缺点时用 shortcomings,如“marriages usually break down as a result of the shortcomings of both partners”(婚姻常因双方的缺点破裂)。

区别于 shortage:shortcoming 侧重“内在缺陷”,而 shortage 指“数量不足”,如“food shortage”(食物短缺)。
