/ˈniːdləs/
Needless means not necessary — something that didn't have to happen and could have been avoided. It's often used to describe pain, worry, or trouble that someone caused for no good reason. 'Needless to say' is a common phrase that means 'obviously' — you say it right before something the listener could already guess.
不必要的;多此一舉的
組成'Need' plus '-less' (without) — literally, 'without need.'
