このテーマの全語です。定義を隠して、 よい意味・わるい意味・中立の三つに分けてみるのが、いちばん効く使い方です。 分け間違えた語が、そのまま自分の弱点になります。
Every word in this theme. The best use of it is to cover the meanings and sort the list into positive, negative and neutral. Whichever ones you put in the wrong pile are exactly your weak spots.
内訳：よい意味 1語 ／ わるい意味 19語 ／ 中立 1語。 強さはこのテーマの中での相対です—— テーマをまたいで比べる数字ではありません。
1 positive, 19 negative, 1 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.
| 語Word | 向き+/− | 強さStrength | 意味Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| adverse adj | − | ● | working against you; unfavorable — 不利な |
| bane n | − | ●●● | a source of ruin or constant misery — 災いの元 |
| benign adj | ＋ | ● | harmless; mild rather than threatening — 無害な・良性のinnocuous も無害という意味ですが、benign は温厚・良性という肯定的な響きを持ちます。innocuous only tells you a thing does no harm; benign adds a positive sense of being mild and reassuring, which is why a growth or a climate can be called benign but not innocuous. |
| blight n | − | ●●● | a disease or force that destroys — 荒廃させる害bane は個人を苦しめる元凶、blight は広がって全体を荒廃させる力です。bane is the one thing that ruins a particular person's life; blight spreads and lays waste to a whole crop, city or generation. |
| calamity n | − | ●●● | a disaster — 大災難 |
| conflagration n | − | ●●● | a huge destructive fire — 大火災 |
| debacle n | − | ●●● | a total, humiliating failure — 惨めな大失敗calamity は災害そのもの、debacle は人が招いた恥ずべき大失敗です。calamity is a disaster that happens to people; debacle is a failure people bring on themselves and are humiliated by. |
| deface v | − | ● | to spoil the appearance of something — 外観を汚す |
| deleterious adj | − | ●● | quietly harmful over time — 徐々に有害pernicious は破壊的な害、deleterious は健康や環境にじわじわ効く中程度の害です。pernicious and deleterious both do their damage quietly, but pernicious ends up destroying what it works on while deleterious only wears down health or the environment over time. |
| derelict adj | − | ●● | abandoned and falling apart — 廃墟同然の |
| exacerbate v | − | ●● | to make a bad thing worse — 悪化させる |
| grievous adj | − | ●● | serious enough to cause real damage — 重大な痛手 |
| incendiary adj | − | ●● | likely to start a fire or a riot — 扇動的・放火のconflagration は火事そのもの、incendiary は火や騒ぎを起こす側を指します。conflagration is the blaze itself; incendiary is what sets a fire or a riot going. |
| innocuous adj | 0 | ● | harmless — 当たり障りない |
| insidious adj | − | ●● | harmful in a way that creeps up on you — 知らぬ間に蝕むpernicious と近いですが、insidious は気づかせない狡猾さを強調します。pernicious says how destructive the harm is; insidious says how well it hides itself while it spreads, so you notice only once it has taken hold. |
| liability n | − | ● | a burden or risk you are stuck with — お荷物・負債 |
| noxious adj | − | ●● | unwholesome and damaging — 有毒な |
| onerous adj | − | ●● | heavily burdensome — 負担が重い |
| pernicious adj | − | ●●● | quietly destructive — 静かに破壊的 |
| quagmire n | − | ●● | a situation that traps you the more you struggle — 泥沼 |
| raze v | − | ●●● | to level a building to the ground — 更地にする |
