An exploitative person, company, or system takes as much as it can from someone — their work, time, money, or land — and gives very little back. It is a strong, unhappy word. People use it about unfair bosses, cheap labour, and relationships where one side uses the other. It sounds a bit formal; a friend might just say “they’re using you.” There is a shorter spelling, exploitive, that means the same thing.
剝削的
組成From exploit + -ative. Exploit here is the bad sense: to use someone unfairly. -ative turns it into a describing word. Compare exploitive.
