"laboured"(美式拼写为"labored")是形容词,主要含义有三层:
费力的身体表现
指呼吸或动作显得沉重吃力,常见于医学语境描述异常呼吸状态。例如:"The patient's laboured breathing indicated possible respiratory distress"(患者呼吸费力,提示可能存在呼吸窘迫)。牛津词典将其定义为"showing signs of effort, especially because of breathing with difficulty"。
不自然的语言表达
用于描述文字或言语缺乏流畅性,如学术写作中过度使用复杂句式的现象。剑桥词典指出该词可描述"not natural or relaxed"的语言表达方式,例如官方声明中"laboured diplomatic wording"(生硬的外交措辞)。
刻意的工作成果
柯林斯词典强调其"done with great difficulty"的引申义,特指需要极大努力完成但效果欠佳的作品,如艺术创作领域批评"a laboured oil painting with visible overworking"(笔触刻意呆板的油画作品)。
