    Negativity is an attitude: looking at a person, a plan, or a day and seeing mostly the bad side, not the good. We talk about someone's negativity when their comments keep pulling the room down — 'that will never work', 'she always messes up'. It names the habit or the mood, not one single bad fact.

    Negativity negativity is是 an attitude一種態度 looking at a person, a plan, or a day看一個人、一個計畫、或一天 and seeing mostly the bad side, not the good卻大多只看到壞的一面,看不到好的一面。 We talk about someone's negativity我們會說某人有negativity when their comments keep pulling the room down當他們的話一直把氣氛拉低的時候 'that will never work', 'she always messes up'像"that will never work"(這絕對行不通)、"she always messes up"(她老是搞砸)這種話。 It它 names the habit or the mood指的是一種習慣或情緒 not one single bad fact而不是單一件壞事。

    A person can report a real problem without being full of negativity; negativity is the extra tilt toward gloom. In offices, classrooms, and talk about feelings the word is common.

    A person can report a real problem一個人可以反映一個真的存在的問題 without being full of negativity而不算滿滿的negativity negativity is the extra tilt toward gloomnegativity指的是那多出來、往悲觀偏的那一分。 In offices, classrooms, and talk about feelings在辦公室、教室、還有談情緒的場合 the word is common這個字很常見。

    Though actually, people sometimes throw it at anyone who disagrees, which is unfair: saying an idea is weak is not the same as negativity. The word is also used in science for 'being negative' in a technical sense, but the everyday meaning you meet first is this attitude.

    Though actually不過其實 people sometimes throw it at anyone who disagrees有時候人會把這個字扣在任何不同意見的人頭上 which is unfair這樣並不公平 saying an idea is weak is not the same as negativity說一個想法不夠好,跟negativity不是同一回事。 The word is also used in science這個字在科學裡也會用到 for 'being negative' in a technical sense指技術上"呈負值"的意思 but the everyday meaning you meet first is this attitude但你最先遇到的日常意思,就是這種態度。
