"letting down" 是一個英語短語動詞,主要有兩層核心含義,具體含義取決于上下文:
1. 使失望;辜負 (情感/期望層面 - 最常見含義)
let someone down
: 讓某人失望。 (e.g., "I promised to be there, and I don't want to let her down." 我答應過要到場,我不想讓她失望。)feel let down
: 感到失望。 (e.g., "The team felt let down by the manager's decision." 團隊對經理的決定感到失望。)2. 放下;降低;放氣 (物理/機械層面 - 較少見)
let something down
: 放下某物;給某物放氣。let down something
: 同上。理解 "letting down" 的關鍵在于語境。在絕大多數日常交流中,它表示“使某人失望或辜負某人”。隻有在特定的物理操作或技術語境(如操作窗簾、航空、給輪胎放氣)下,才表示“放下、降低或放氣”。當用于描述人際關系、承諾或期望時,其核心含義總是與未能滿足期望和導緻失望感相關。
“letting down”是動詞短語let down 的現在分詞形式,其含義需根據語境區分:
指物理層面的降低或放松動作,常見于機械、運動等場景。
表示未達到預期或辜負他人信任,帶有情感色彩。
