词组 | madness |
释义 | madness You should be careful which words you use to refer to someone who has an abnormal mental condition. The adjectives mad, insane, crazy, demented, and deranged, and the nouns lunatic, maniac, and madman are usually avoided nowadays in serious speech and writing because they are thought to be offensive. Instead, you can say that someone is mentally ill. If their condition is less severe, you can say that they are mentally disturbed or unbalanced, or that they have psychological problems. At least ninety percent of the men and women who kill themselves are mentally ill. ...an institution for mentally disturbed children. ...the area of the jail reserved for women with psychological problems. |
