NOTE 辨析 Dumb or mute?In the meaning 'unable to speak', both dumb and mute are rather old-fashioned, and dumb can be offensive. An acceptable alternative is speech-impaired, but this is not at all frequent, and the phrase 'unable to speak' is often used instead. 表示“哑的”之义时,dumb和mute都已过时,而且dumb可能有冒犯的意味。speech-impaired(有语言障碍)是个可接受的替代词,但很少用,而经常用短语unable to speak来表达这个意思The 2nd Duke of Montrose was deaf and unable to speak.第二任蒙特罗斯公爵又聋又哑。
