Done, said or believed without a good enough reason. You use it when someone acted and the reason they had does not hold up: an unjustified fear, unjustified criticism, an unjustified pay rise, unjustified confidence.

Done, said or believed被做出、說出或相信 without a good enough reason卻沒有足夠好的理由. You use it你會用這個詞 when someone acted and the reason they had does not hold up當某人做了某件事,但他的理由站不住腳的時候: an unjustified fear像unjustified fear(沒來由的恐懼), unjustified criticismunjustified criticism(沒有根據的批評), an unjustified pay risean unjustified pay rise(沒有正當理由的加薪), unjustified confidenceunjustified confidence(沒有根據的自信).

It says the reason was missing or too weak this time — it does not go as far as saying no reason could ever exist. That is a real and useful difference from 'unjustifiable'.

It says the reason was missing or too weak this time它的意思是這一次理由缺席了或太薄弱 — it does not go as far as saying no reason could ever exist但沒有說到「永遠不可能有理由」這麼絕對. That is a real and useful difference from 'unjustifiable'這跟'unjustifiable'之間有個真實而實用的差別.

It works before a noun and after 'be', and it pairs naturally with words for feelings and reactions ('her worry turned out to be unjustified'), which is where it is gentlest — sometimes it means little more than 'it turned out there was nothing to worry about', with no blame at all.

It works before a noun and after 'be'它可以放在名詞前面,也可以放在'be'後面, and it pairs naturally with words for feelings and reactions而且很自然地會搭配表達感受和反應的詞 ('her worry turned out to be unjustified'像'her worry turned out to be unjustified'(她的擔心後來證實是多餘的)), which is where it is gentlest這也是它語氣最溫和的地方 — sometimes it means little more than 'it turned out there was nothing to worry about'有時候它幾乎只是在說「結果根本沒什麼好擔心的」, with no blame at all完全沒有責怪的意思.

There is also a completely separate technical use in word processing and printing, where 'unjustified' text is text with a ragged edge, not lined up straight down both sides — nothing to do with fairness.

There is also a completely separate technical use另外還有一個完全無關的技術用法 in word processing and printing用在文書處理和印刷上, where 'unjustified' text is text with a ragged edge指'unjustified'的文字是邊緣不齊的文字, not lined up straight down both sides兩邊沒有對齊 — nothing to do with fairness跟公不公平一點關係都沒有.
