Crazy usually describes a person; if it describes an action, it is usually a deliberate action, but one that is dangerous or could harm sb in some way. * crazy一般形容人，如用来形容行为，则通常指故意的行为，并且此一行为是危险的或可能对人造成某种伤害◆That was a crazy thing to do! Are you trying to get us killed?那么做太疯狂了！你想让我们丧命吗？ Stupid, silly, foolish and dumb describe people or their actions. These may be deliberate actions or they can be careless actions caused by sb not thinking. * stupid、silly、foolish和dumb形容人或其行为，可以是故意的行为或某人思虑不周的轻率之举◆a stupid / silly / foolish / dumb mistake愚蠢的错误◆a crazy mistake It is often considered offensive to tell sb that they are stupid; dumb is slightly less offensive, and can be used between friends in a way that shows affection; silly is a kinder word, especially when used to a child, but can still be offensive if used to an adult. Foolish is a rather formal word, used especially in writing. 说某人stupid常被视为一种冒犯；dumb冒犯程度稍低，可用于朋友之间，以示亲密；silly是较温和的词，对孩童讲话时尤为如此，但如用于成人则仍具冒犯性。foolish是相当正式的词，尤用于书面语。 ■ mad (especially BrE, informal, sometimes disapproving) very stupid; not at all sensible 极愚蠢的；很不明智的◆You must be mad to risk it.你去冒这种风险，简直是疯了。◆'I'm going to buy some new clothes.'

It contrasts with neurotic which describes people who are less seriously mentally ill and are still able to distinguish what is real from what is not. Psychotic should not be confused with psychopathic: being psychotic does not make sb violent. 在非正式用语中，psychotic有时泛指患有精神疾病，但在正确的医学用语中，只用以描述难以与外界现实建立联系的人，这与neurotic形成对比－neurotic用以描述患有轻微神经错乱，但仍能区分现实与虚幻的人。psychotic所描述的精神病人没有暴力行为，不应与psychopathic混淆。■ disturbed /dɪˈstɜːbd; NAmE dɪˈstɜːrbd/ mentally ill, especially because of very unhappy or shocking experiences 有精神病的，心理不正常的，精神紊乱的（尤因不幸或受刺激所致）◆He works with emotionally disturbed children.他的工作对象是精神异常的儿童。◆His behaviour is deeply disturbed.他的行为极其失常。■ crazed /kreɪzd/ / (written, especially journalism 尤用于新闻) not having any emotional or mental control 疯狂的；发狂的◆A crazed killer stalked the streets.一个丧心病狂的杀手恶狠狠地在街上走。◆She was crazed with grief.她伤心欲狂。■ deranged / /dɪˈreɪndʒd/ / (especially written) not able to behave and think normally, especially because of a mental illness 精神错乱的；精神失常的；疯狂的◆The plan seemed to be the product of a deranged mind.这个计划像是精神错乱的人想出来的。◆At first I thought he was deranged.起初我以为他发疯了。■ unstable / /ʌnˈsteɪbl/ / having emotions and behaviour that are likely to change suddenly and unexpectedly （情绪和行为）反复无常的，不稳定的◆He's highly unstable, and liable to sudden fits of rage.他情绪极其反复无常，动辄暴跳如雷。◆emotionally unstable patients情绪不稳定的病人■ psychopathic / /ˌsaɪkəˈpæθɪk/ / suffering from or connected with a serious mental illness that causes the sufferer to behave in a violent way towards other people 患严重精神病的；精神错乱而有暴力倾向的◆He was diagnosed as suffering from a psychopathic disorder.他被诊断为精神错乱。 |
