- 1令人無法忍受的（常指人的態度讓人受不了）
If someone or something is insufferable, they are so or so unpleasant that you feel you cannot stand them. Though actually, we reach for this word most about people, not about pain. A is more often unbearable; a person who will not stop boasting is insufferable. The word is sharp and a little old-fashioned. You are not only saying they you; you are saying they are too much, and you have had enough. Heat, noise, or a long speech can be insufferable too — ‘the room was insufferable in August’ — but the picture students should keep is often a manner that fills the room: proud, smug, always talking. It is stronger and ruder than ‘’, and more personal than ‘unpleasant’.
組成From Late Middle English insufferable (‘unbearably painful, intolerable’), either from in- (not) + sufferable (able to be borne), or from Old French insouffrable (which cannot be endured).
