- 1愛管閒事的善人(帶貶義;不是在誇「好人」。台灣口語「濫好人」比較偏「太好說話」,不完全一樣)
A do-gooder is someone who tries to help people who are in a bad situation — and the word is not a hug. English uses it to show . The speaker thinks this person's help is not needed, or is naive, nosy, or more about the feeling of being good than about what actually helps. A newspaper can call do-gooders to brush them off. A neighbour can say it about someone who keeps offering advice nobody asked for. Kind people still do good; this label is about how the help lands, or how it looks from outside. Though actually, some speakers use it more gently, almost as “idealist.” Tone of voice does a lot of the work. It is informal, a little old-fashioned in the , and more at home in newspapers and talk than in a thank-you.
組成From do good + -er, the ending that means a person who does that.
