汉字
用法
- Childish/immature - usually a criticism of thinking or behavior - 你的想法太幼稚了 (nǐ de xiǎngfǎ tài yòuzhì le) your idea is too naive.
- Literally 'young', but in modern use it overwhelmingly means puerile/naive, not literally young in age.
- Contrast 天真 (tiānzhēn), which can be endearingly innocent; 幼稚 is nearly always negative. Note 幼稚园 (kindergarten) preserves the old literal sense.
例句
- 她说话幼稚。 Tā shuōhuà yòuzhì.She talked childishly.
- 不要那么幼稚。 Búyào nàme yòuzhì.Don't be so childish.
