    Idiocy is something you think is extremely silly or stupid — the act, the plan, or the quality of being that foolish, not the person. “That decision is idiocy” attacks the decision; the person who made it would be an idiot, which is a different word. You can talk about the idiocy of a rule (the stupid quality) or about these idiocies (the stupid things themselves).

    Idiocy Idiocy is something指的是某件事,you think is extremely silly or stupid你覺得非常愚蠢、荒謬的事——the act, the plan, or the quality of being that foolish可能是這個行為、這個計畫,或那種愚蠢的性質本身,not the person而不是指這個人。「That decision is idiocy」(這個決定真是idiocy)attacks the decision批評的是這個決定;the person who made it would be an idiot做出決定的人才叫idiot,which is a different word這是不同的字。You can talk about the idiocy of a rule你可以說某個規定的idiocy(the stupid quality就是那種愚蠢的性質),or about these idiocies或者說these idiocies(the stupid things themselves就是那些愚蠢的事情本身)。

    It is a strong, sharp word, used when people are angry or joking, not in a careful meeting.

    It它is a strong, sharp word是個很強烈、很尖銳的字,used when people are angry or joking用在人們生氣或開玩笑的時候,not in a careful meeting不會用在謹慎的會議場合。

    Older medical English used it for a disability; that use is outdated and , and you should not copy it. Stick to the everyday sense: this is extremely stupid.

    Older medical English早期的醫學英文,used it for a disability曾經用這個字指稱身心障礙;that use is outdated and unkind這種用法已經過時、也不尊重人,and you should not copy it你不應該學著這樣用。Stick to the everyday sense就用日常的意思就好:this is extremely stupid就是「這實在太蠢了」。
