/ˌʌnˈdɔːntɪd/
不畏惧的;不气馁的。形容一个人在面对困难、危险或挫折时,依然保持勇气和决心,毫不退缩。
She remained undaunted despite the many challenges ahead.
尽管前方困难重重,她依然毫不畏惧。
Undaunted by repeated failures, the young scientist continued her research with quiet determination, convinced that a breakthrough was within reach.
尽管屡次失败,这位年轻的科学家依然不气馁,以沉静的决心继续她的研究,坚信突破就在眼前。
由前缀 un-(表示"不、没有")加上 daunted 构成。daunt 源自古法语 danter,意为"驯服、威吓",更早可追溯至拉丁语 domitare(驯服),与 dominate(支配)同源。因此 undaunted 的本义即"未被威吓的、未被驯服的",后来引申为"无畏的、不气馁的"。
