词根

Reckless由"reck" 和后缀 "-less"构成。"reck"来源于古英语的"reccan", 意为 "注意,考虑";"-less" 是一种常见的后缀,表示"无,没有"。所以"reckless"的字面意思就是"没有考虑"。

释义

adj. 鲁莽的,不顾后果的;粗心大意的 n. (Reckless)人名;(英)雷克利斯

例句

She was a good rider, but reckless.
她是个好骑手,但太鲁莽。
He showed a reckless disregard for his own safety.
他对个人安危全然无所顾忌。
Many people believe reckless drivers are treated too leniently.
很多人认为对鲁莽的司机处理得太宽大了。

强化记忆

我们可以将"reckless"拆分成"reck"和"less","reck"想象成"reckless driving"中的开车,"less"就是少,那么把两者结合在一起,就是少了开车的谨慎,从而引发了不负责任的行驶,使人对"reckless"这个词的意思有了更为深刻的理解。Reckless一词源于古英语的"receleas",意为"不在意,毫无顾忌"。在中世纪英语中,"Reck"用来意味"注意,照顾",而"less"则表示缺乏。因此,"reckless"表达的是对可能的风险或后果的漠视。
