用法
- To lack / be deficient in something - 经验欠缺 (jīngyàn qiànquē) lacking in experience, 欠缺考虑 poorly thought through.
- Both verb and noun (a shortcoming). Slightly formal.
- Contrast 缺乏 (quēfá, to lack): near-synonyms, but 欠缺 leans toward 'falls short of an expected standard,' often about ability, experience, or thoroughness.
