- 1沒有固定形式的、非結構化的。用在教學、活動時常譯「開放式的」「自由發揮的」,是中性甚至正面的;資訊領域的 unstructured data 就是「非結構化資料」。
Unstructured means there is no set plan or fixed shape to it — no , no order of steps, no rules about what must come first. People are left free to do things their own way. The interesting thing about this word is that it can be praise or complaint, and only the situation tells you which. Praise: unstructured play lets children invent their own games; an unstructured afternoon means a lovely empty day; an unstructured interview lets the conversation go wherever it needs to. Complaint: an unstructured lesson wanders and teaches nothing; an unstructured essay confuses the reader. In business and computing you will also meet 'unstructured data' — emails, photos, chat messages, anything not tidily sorted into rows and columns. That use is neutral, just a technical label. Educators and psychologists use the word a lot; it is common in reports and articles, less common in casual talk, where people say 'loose' or 'there's no real plan'. Note that unstructured is not the same as disorganised. Disorganised means someone tried and made a mess. Unstructured means nobody imposed a shape in the first place — sometimes on purpose.
組成un- (not) + structure (the way parts are put together) + -ed (having it) → structured (given a clear shape) → unstructured (not given a clear shape).
