词组 obsessed
释义
addicted, addictive, compulsive, disciplined, hooked, obsessive
In the general sense of being independent of or contrary to a person’s conscious will, these words have both a popular and technical use.
Obsessed is to be excessively troubled, disturbed, worried or preoccupied by virtually anything at any time, anywhere, for whatever reason or cause.
• He was obsessed by the fear of cancer; The thought of losing the large order obsessed the new salesman.
Obsessive implies a similar mental state but carries the idea of some deep-lying character defect or personality maladjustment requiring careful, often extended psychiatric attention. Thus one may be temporarily obsessed by unpaid bills or a forgotten address, but have a persistent obsessive fear of debt or of losing one’s memory.
Compulsive suggests an insistent, unwanted and repetitive emotion, attitude or activity that has little relation to normal standards of behaviour and whose omission leads to acute mental distress: a compulsive need to wash one’s hands or rearrange the furniture; compulsive eating; a compulsive striving for perfection. In this sense it is usually linked with obsessive as a psychiatric term for a large number of mental disorders: an obsessive-compulsive neurosis.
Disciplined is comparable to the other words in this group chiefly as it implies submission to controls imposed either by some outside authority or by oneself. The submission may be involuntary of enforced: disciplined prisoners of war. On the other hand, it may be consciously accepted as a means to some personal end: a disciplined course of action; disciplined behaviour to one’s superiors.
Addicted and addictive both suggest a strong attachment to or dependence upon something. Addicted may often mean little more than a persistent devotion to one or another form of socially acceptable activity or pursuit: addicted to the theatre, to sports, to reading or travel. Usually, however, the word suggests an emotional or physical dependence that is not compatible with normal behaviour: addicted to drugs or alcohol. Such dependence is emphasized by addictive , which has come to mean habit-forming in a bad or unhealthy sense: addictive drugs; addictive narcotics. Hooked is a colloquial term for addicted when applied to drugs in general or to a particular drug: hooked on LSD.
ANTONYMS: instinctive, natural, spontaneous.
