喜樂美語
  1. 1

    If you say something lamely, you do not sound sure of yourself, and other people find it hard to believe you. The excuse is thin; the voice trails off. “I forgot,” he said lamely. Stories and slightly formal writing like this word. Everyday talk may just say or . It comes from lame, but in this use it is not about a hurt leg. Though actually, English stretched lame long ago from “unable to walk well” to “unable to stand up” — a lame excuse is one that cannot walk, so to speak. That is the feeling lamely still carries: the words do not hold.

    沒底氣地、軟弱地（多指話或藉口站不住）
