It suggests that the person who made it should have thought more carefully about others. Unthinking is used more often when the bad effect of sth is only felt by the person doing the action. In this case, the action was just stupid and not thought about properly. * thoughtless可修饰行为或评论，指言行可能对他人产生负面影响，暗示有此言行的人本应更仔细地替别人考虑。unthinking多表示草率行事者自己身受其害。在这种情况下，该行为只是愚蠢和考虑不周。■ inconsiderate / /ˌɪnkənˈsɪdərət/ / (rather formal, disapproving) not giving enough thought to other people's feelings or needs 不为别人着想的；不体谅别人的；考虑不周的◆It was inconsiderate of you not to call.你连个电话也不打，不够体谅人。 OPP considerate ⇨ kind adj. |
