"flimsy" 是一個形容詞,主要描述物體或概念因結構薄弱、缺乏實質内容而顯得不可靠或不牢固。該詞源自動詞 "film"(薄膜)的變體 "filmsy",最早出現于17世紀,指代輕薄的書寫紙張,後逐漸延伸出更廣泛的内涵。
在物理層面,flimsy 指物體材質脆弱易損,例如:"The tent collapsed under heavy rain due to its flimsy plastic poles"(帳篷因脆弱的塑料支架在暴雨中倒塌)。劍橋英語詞典将其定義為"easily damaged or broken"(易損壞或破裂),常見于描述紙張、織物或廉價建材。
在抽象層面,flimsy 可形容論點、借口或證據缺乏邏輯基礎,例如:"The prosecution's case was dismissed because of flimsy evidence"(因證據不足,檢方指控被駁回)。韋氏詞典強調其隱含"缺乏深度或可信度"的特點,多用于批評法律文件、學術研究或政策依據的薄弱性。詞義演變反映了人類對可靠性與穩固性的普遍價值判斷,這一概念在工程學、法學等領域具有實際應用意義。
