Daft is a British, informal word for silly or foolish — used in a light, often way, not usually as a harsh insult. You might call a funny plan 'a daft idea', or tease a friend by saying 'don't be daft' when they say something silly. It is much more common in the UK and Ireland than in American English, where people would more likely say 'silly' or 'dumb' instead.
傻的、蠢的(英式口語,通常語氣輕鬆、不算太嚴重的批評)
