  shoddy的意思是“劣质的、劣等的”。它是怎么来的呢?这还得从美国内战说起。


  最初,shoddy并没有“劣质的”这一含义,而是指“用加工高级毛织品时剩下的废料织成的布”。在美国内战期间,制造商们意识到为士兵生产军服会赚很多钱。其中有一些无道德的奸商发现如果用价格便宜的shoddy来做军服,利润更是“大大的有”。因为这种布料质地较差,用其制成的军服很快就会被穿破。因此,shoddy就逐渐演变成一个形容词,意思是“劣质的、劣等的”,用来形容那种看起来蛮不错,但买回家一周之后就不想再要的商品了。


  来看几个例子:


  shoddy goods, clothes: 劣质的货物、服装


  It is up to the teacher not to accept shoddy work.
  教师不应接受敷衍潦草的作业。
