Incurious
“Incurious” 是 “curious”（好奇的）的反义词。它指代一种缺乏探究精神、平淡或冷漠的状态。一个 “incurious” 的人通常对新事物不闻不问，只满足于现状，不愿深入了解事物的本质。
- “To my surprise, he was completely incurious about his family’s mysterious history.” (令我惊讶的是，他对他家族神秘的历史完全没有好奇心。)
- “An incurious mind is a barrier to personal growth and learning.” (缺乏好奇心的心智是个人成长和学习的障碍。)
- “The travelers were strangely incurious, showing no interest in the local customs.” (那些旅行者奇怪地漠不关心，对当地习俗毫无兴趣。)
“Incurious” 源自 “curious”。
- 前缀: “in-” 意为“不”。
- 词根: “-cur-” 来源于拉丁语 “cura”，意为“照料、关心或好奇”（如 “care”, “cure”, “curate”）。
- “Curious” 字面意思是“充满关心的”。
- 后缀: “-ous”，形容词后缀，表示“具有……特性的”。
在科学和启蒙精神中，“curiosity”（好奇心）被视为进步的动力。因此，“incurious” 往往带有一种轻微的贬义，暗示一个人精神世界匮乏或头脑迟钝。许多著名的科学家和探险家都强调，保持一颗永不枯竭的好奇心是成功的关键，而 “incuriosity” 则是探索的大敌。
- 名词形式: “incuriosity” 或 “incuriousness” (缺乏好奇心)。
- 副词形式: “incuriously” (缺乏好奇心地，漠然地)。
- 反义词: “curious” (好奇的), “inquisitive” (爱打听的)。
直接拆解：In (不) + Curious (好奇)。记住 “curator”（博物馆馆长）是照料藏品的人，那么 “-cur-” 就是关心和注意。如果你不关心周遭，你就是 “incurious”。
“While other children were busy asking why the sky is blue and how birds fly, little Mark sat in his room, seemingly incurious about the world outside. His parents tried to encourage him with books and puzzles, but he remained indifferent. It wasn’t until he saw a telescope for the first time that his incurious shell finally cracked, and he spent the whole night looking at the stars.” (当其他孩子忙着问为什么天空是蓝的、鸟儿是怎么飞的时，小马克坐在房间里，似乎对外界毫无好奇心。他的父母试图用书籍和拼图来鼓励他，但他依然无动于衷。直到他第一次看到望远镜，他那缺乏好奇心的外壳才终于破裂，他花了一整夜观察星星。)
