a. 惰性的,迟钝的,无活力的,呆滞的

惰性的,迟钝的,无活力的,呆滞的

inert
*惰性

inert
adj 1: unable to move or resist motion
2: having only a limited ability to react chemically; chemically
inactive; "inert matter"; "an indifferent chemical in a
reaction" [synonym: {inert}, {indifferent}, {neutral}]
3: slow and apathetic; "she was fat and inert"; "a sluggish
worker"; "a mind grown torpid in old age" [synonym: {inert},
{sluggish}, {soggy}, {torpid}]

Inert \In*ert"\, a. [L. iners, inertis, unskilled, idle; pref.
in- ars art: cf. F. inerte. See {Art}.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Destitute of the power of moving itself, or of active
resistance to motion; as, matter is inert.
[1913 Webster]

2. Indisposed to move or act; very slow to act; sluggish;
dull; inactive; indolent; lifeless.
[1913 Webster]

The inert and desponding party of the court.
--Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]

It present becomes extravagant, then imbecile, and
at length utterly inert. --I. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]

3. Not having or manifesting active properties; not affecting
other substances when brought in contact with them;
powerless for an expected or desired effect; as, the noble
gases are chemically inert.

Syn: Inactive; dull; passive; indolent; sluggish; slothful;
lazy; lifeless; irresolute; stupid; senseless;
insensible.

Usage: {Inert}, {Inactive}, {Sluggish}. A man may be inactive
from mere lack of stimulus to effort; but one who is
inert has something in his constitution or his habits
which operates like a weight holding him back from
exertion. Sluggish is still stronger, implying some
defect of temperament which directly impedes action.
Inert and inactive are negative, sluggish is positive.
[1913 Webster]

Even the favored isles . . .
Can boast but little virtue; and, inert
Through plenty, lose in morals what they gain
In manners -- victims of luxurious ease.
--Cowper.
[1913 Webster]

Doomed to lose four months in inactive
obscurity. --Johnson.
[1913 Webster]

Sluggish Idleness, the nurse of sin,
Upon a slothful ass he chose to ride. --Spenser.
[1913 Webster]
