    If you are unimpressed by something, you looked at it, you understood it, and it did not move you. You are not angry and you are not confused — you just do not think it is good, or clever, or . The word almost always describes a person's reaction: 'She was unimpressed by his new car.' We usually build it with 'by' or 'with' after it.

    If you are unimpressed by something如果你對某件事unimpressed you looked at it你看過了 you understood it你也懂了 and it did not move you但它沒有打動你 You are not angry and you are not confused你不是生氣,也不是困惑 you just do not think it is good, or clever, or exciting你只是不覺得它好、聰明或令人興奮 The word almost always describes a person's reaction這個字幾乎都是用來描述一個人的反應 'She was unimpressed by his new car.'例如'She was unimpressed by his new car.'(她對他的新車不以為然) We usually build it with 'by' or 'with' after it我們通常後面接'by'或'with'

    It is a very English kind of : instead of saying 'that was bad', we say we were unimpressed, and everyone understands that this is the softer, cooler way to say the same thing. Because of that, it often sounds stronger than it looks — a boss who says 'I was unimpressed with your report' is not being gentle.

    It is a very English kind of politeness這是一種很英式的禮貌 instead of saying 'that was bad'不直接說'that was bad'(那很爛) we say we were unimpressed而是說我們unimpressed and everyone understands that this is the softer, cooler way to say the same thing大家都懂這其實是同一件事,只是比較委婉、比較冷靜的說法 Because of that正因如此 it often sounds stronger than it looks它聽起來常常比表面更重 a boss who says 'I was unimpressed with your report'一個說'I was unimpressed with your report'(我對你的報告不太滿意)的老闆 is not being gentle並不是在客氣

    There is also a slightly different everyday use, common when people talk about children, parents, or officials: 'My mother was distinctly unimpressed' can mean she was not pleased, close to , not merely neutral.

    There is also a slightly different everyday use還有一種稍微不同的日常用法 common when people talk about children, parents, or officials常用在講小孩、父母或官員的時候 'My mother was distinctly unimpressed'像'My mother was distinctly unimpressed'(我媽明顯不太高興) can mean she was not pleased, close to annoyed, not merely neutral可以是指她不太開心,接近生氣,而不只是沒感覺

    Notice too that being unimpressed needs something to react to. You cannot be unimpressed by a thing you never saw. That is what separates it from simply not caring.

    Notice too要注意 that being unimpressed needs something to react to unimpressed需要有個對象讓你去反應 You cannot be unimpressed by a thing you never saw你不可能對一個你從沒見過的東西unimpressed That is what separates it from simply not caring這就是它跟單純不在乎不一樣的地方
