- 1不具威脅性、沒有威脅感的
If something is non-threatening, it does not make you feel afraid or worried. We use it for people, voices, dogs, colours, rooms, and questions — anything that could have felt dangerous or hard, but does not. A non-threatening question does not sound like an attack. A non-threatening manner is calm and open, so the other person does not brace for a fight. Though actually, it is about how the other person feels, not only about what you meant. You can believe you are being kind and still not seem non-threatening to them. It is a fairly soft, grown-up word: more at home in work, teaching, design, and careful talk about feelings than in playground speech. It is not the same as “weak,” though people sometimes stretch it that way when they want a look or a style that will not scare anyone off.
non-threatening 形容一樣東西讓人不覺得害怕或擔心，像一個人、一種語氣、一隻狗、一種顏色，或一個問題，即使它本來可能很難或讓人緊張，卻沒有壓迫感。「a non-threatening question」（不具威脅感的問題）聽起來不像攻擊，「a non-threatening manner」（不具威脅感的態度）則平靜又開放，讓對方不必防備。重點在對方的感受，不只是你說話的本意：你可能覺得自己很友善，對方卻不一定這樣感覺。它是比較溫和、成熟的字，常見於工作、教學、設計和談感受的文章。它的畫面是讓人不設防，不是「weak」（軟弱）。
