"flimsy" 是一个形容词,主要描述物体或概念因结构薄弱、缺乏实质内容而显得不可靠或不牢固。该词源自动词 "film"(薄膜)的变体 "filmsy",最早出现于17世纪,指代轻薄的书写纸张,后逐渐延伸出更广泛的内涵。
在物理层面,flimsy 指物体材质脆弱易损,例如:"The tent collapsed under heavy rain due to its flimsy plastic poles"(帐篷因脆弱的塑料支架在暴雨中倒塌)。剑桥英语词典将其定义为"easily damaged or broken"(易损坏或破裂),常见于描述纸张、织物或廉价建材。
在抽象层面,flimsy 可形容论点、借口或证据缺乏逻辑基础,例如:"The prosecution's case was dismissed because of flimsy evidence"(因证据不足,检方指控被驳回)。韦氏词典强调其隐含"缺乏深度或可信度"的特点,多用于批评法律文件、学术研究或政策依据的薄弱性。词义演变反映了人类对可靠性与稳固性的普遍价值判断,这一概念在工程学、法学等领域具有实际应用意义。
