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 3語 ／ わるい意味 8語 ／ 中立 3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。
3 positive, 8 negative, 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| aloof adj | − | ●● | emotionally distant and reserved — よそよそしい |
| bashful adj | 0 | ● | shy in front of other people — 恥ずかしがり |
| deferential adj | ＋ | ● | showing respect for someone's authority — うやうやしい |
| demure adj | ＋ | ● | quiet and modest in manner — しとやか |
| diffident adj | − | ●● | holding back out of self-doubt — 気後れするbashfulは人前での照れ、diffidentは自信のなさから一歩引く態度です。bashful is embarrassment in front of other people; diffident is hanging back because you doubt your own ability. |
| docile adj | 0 | ●● | easily led or taught — 素直で従順 |
| obsequious adj | − | ●●● | fawning and overly eager to please — 媚びへつらうservileは奴隷のように従う姿勢、obsequiousはへつらう言動の露骨さを指します。servile is behaving like someone's servant; obsequious is the flattery and eagerness to please laid on so thick that everyone can see it. |
| reclusive adj | 0 | ●●● | avoiding the company of others — 隠遁的 |
| servile adj | − | ●●● | behaving like a servant toward someone — 卑屈で奴隷的 |
| submissive adj | − | ●● | yielding readily to authority — 言いなり |
| sycophant n | − | ●●● | a flatterer angling for favor — おべっか使い |
| timorous adj | − | ●● | easily frightened — 臆病でおどおど |
| toady n | − | ●●● | someone who flatters to gain favors — 太鼓持ちsycophantとほぼ同義ですが、toadyはより口語的で侮蔑の響きが強い語です。a toady is the same thing as a sycophant, but the word is more informal and carries more contempt for the person. |
| tractable adj | ＋ | ● | easy to manage or control — 扱いやすいdocileは逆らわない性質、tractableは扱いやすいという外からの評価です。docile describes the temperament of someone who does not resist; tractable is the outside verdict that they are easy to handle. |
