"letting down" 是一个英语短语动词,主要有两层核心含义,具体含义取决于上下文:
1. 使失望;辜负 (情感/期望层面 - 最常见含义)
let someone down
: 让某人失望。 (e.g., "I promised to be there, and I don't want to let her down." 我答应过要到场,我不想让她失望。)feel let down
: 感到失望。 (e.g., "The team felt let down by the manager's decision." 团队对经理的决定感到失望。)2. 放下;降低;放气 (物理/机械层面 - 较少见)
let something down
: 放下某物;给某物放气。let down something
: 同上。理解 "letting down" 的关键在于语境。在绝大多数日常交流中,它表示“使某人失望或辜负某人”。只有在特定的物理操作或技术语境(如操作窗帘、航空、给轮胎放气)下,才表示“放下、降低或放气”。当用于描述人际关系、承诺或期望时,其核心含义总是与未能满足期望和导致失望感相关。
“letting down”是动词短语let down 的现在分词形式,其含义需根据语境区分:
指物理层面的降低或放松动作,常见于机械、运动等场景。
表示未达到预期或辜负他人信任,带有情感色彩。
