1. 1

    Indolent is the adjective that matches : an indolent person avoids effort and is in no hurry to work. It is formal, and it can sound judging — closer to 'will not bother' than to a kind 'needs a rest'. Though actually, doctors still use an older, quieter sense. An indolent lump, ulcer, or is slow and does not hurt much. That medical use sits nearer the Latin: in- (not) + hurting. The later sense 'living easily, slothful' probably grew in French and then came into English. In ordinary talk, though, indolent means lazy.

    怠惰的、懶散的(醫:病程慢、不太痛的)
