1. 1隨和

    When we call a person easy-going, we mean they do not get angry, worried, or upset over small things. They take life as it comes. A friend who is late, a change of plan, a little mess — an easy-going person usually just shrugs and carries on. You can also call a place or a way of living easy-going: an easy-going school is not strict; an easy-going weekend has no tight . Though actually, easy-going is not the same as lazy. A lazy person does not want to work; an easy-going person may work hard — they just do not let worry or anger run the day. The word is friendly and everyday, not a formal one. You will also see it written as one word, easygoing, with the same meaning. People sometimes stretch it to mean “too soft” or “not careful enough,” so the speaker’s tone matters.

    形容人的時候,意思是他們不會因為小事而生氣、擔心或心煩。朋友遲到、計畫改變,或是東西有點亂,他們通常聳聳肩就繼續往下過。也可以用來形容地方或生活方式,例如 「an easy-going school」 指不太嚴格的學校,「an easy-going weekend」 指沒有排滿行程的週末。

    要注意它不等於懶惰。懶惰的人不想工作,隨和的人可能工作得很認真,只是不讓焦慮或怒氣主導整天的心情。這個詞很親切、很口語。有時人們會用它來說某人太軟、不夠謹慎,這時就要聽說話的語氣。

組成easy(輕鬆、不難)+ going(一個人過日子、處事的樣子)。
