    Defective
    What you think it means: That something is broken or missing pieces。你以為單詞的含義是:某物碎了或缺了部分。
    What it really means: Simply that it’s broken。單詞的真正含義是:某物壞了。
    You’ll see this one a lot in Amazon reviews. People will say that their unit came defective because it was missing a screw
    or pieces in the box. That’s actually incorrect. What they mean to say is that their product is deficient. It’s missing pieces, it is not actually broken. The machine may work perfectly fine once the missing pieces have been re-added, which means that it actually isn’t defective at all。
    你會(huì)在亞馬遜網(wǎng)評(píng)上看到很多人用這個(gè)單詞。人們會(huì)說(shuō)網(wǎng)購(gòu)的產(chǎn)品是defective(壞的),因?yàn)楹凶永锶鄙倌硞€(gè)螺絲釘或部件。其實(shí)這種用法是不對(duì)的。人們本想說(shuō)產(chǎn)品是deficient(缺陷的),產(chǎn)品只是缺少部件,而不是壞了,如果裝上缺少的部件,或許機(jī)器就能正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)了,所以,產(chǎn)品根本就不是defective(壞的)。
