新概念英语-遇到猪一样的队友，用这些词形容他！

你有没有遇到过猪一样的队友？如果你遇到过，你心里蹦出来的英文单词是哪个？是S打头的那个吗？Stupid？还是Silly？或者，你心里想的是：比猪还笨！又该用哪个英文单词表示？

dunce

拙笨的人；（尤指）迟钝的学生

Poor John Duns Scotus … The followers of Scottish theologian and scholar Duns were considered enemies of learning by 16th-century humanists and reformers, who referred to them as ‘dunces’. So if classroom or scholarly foolishness is the sticking point, then dunceis the right word for you.

可怜的约翰·邓·司各脱……16世纪的人文主义者和改革者把苏格兰神学家和学者邓的追随者视为学习的敌人，因而称他们为“dunces”。所以，如果蠢笨的行为发生在教室或学术环境下，你可以用“dunce”。

例句：

I was a dunce at chemistry.

我在化学方面是个劣等生。

无知的人

‘Ignoramus’ was the endorsement given by a grand jury when they consideredthe prosecution’s evidence for an indictment not sufficient to warrant the casegoing forward. The modern sense of ignoramus may come from the name of acharacter in George Ruggle’s 1615 comedy Ignoramus, which satirizes theignorance of lawyers.

历史上，“ignoramus”是大陪审团认为检方起诉证据不足、案件无法往前推进时使用的措辞。这个词的现代意义可能来自George Ruggle1615年的喜剧“无知（Ignoramus）”，该剧讽刺了律师的无知。

例句：

I'm a complete ignoramus where computers are concerned.

在电脑方面，我完全是个门外汉。

傻瓜，笨蛋

Not only foolish, but also dull! Dullard comes from the Middle Dutch word dullaert, from dul(‘dull’).

不仅是愚蠢的，还是无聊的！Dullard来自公元1100–1500的荷兰语dullaert，从dul演变而来的。

例句：

In this well-educated family, Darwin was considered to be rather dull. At one time his school headmaster called him a dullard.

在这个很有文化涵养的家庭里，达尔文被看成是相当地迟钝。有一次，他的校长称他是笨蛋。
