 ♣ lazy, idle
　这两个词的共同意思是“懒散的”。其区别是：lazy指人的性情贪闲偷懒，松懈拖沓，在工作或学习上不勤奋或根本厌恶努力向上，一般用作贬义词；idle多指人由于客观原因而一时无事可做或物闲置他处，一般不含贬义，有时也指懒惰，但不如lazy常用。例如：
　In that country many workers were unemployed and forced to remain idle.　在那个国家有许多工人失业，被迫闲混。
　He is a lazy fellow. Don't expect him to finish the work in time.　他是个懒蛋，别指望他按时完成工作。
