A visually-challenged manfrom Beijing recently hiked 40 days to Xi’an, as a first step to journey the Belt and Road route by foot.
上面的文段摘自2022年高考考试英语全国甲卷(全国卷Ⅱ)的完形填空。请问visually-challenged怎么样理解?
-challenged 用作后缀,意思是“伤残的”“有残疾的”(特别指“天生的缺点的”),其前一般连用副词。如:
visually-challenged man 天生眼晴不好的
physically-challenged man身体不好的人
a competition forphysically challenged athletes 残疾运动员的比赛
有时用于比喻使用方法。如:
sartorially challenged woman 穿着不够得体的女子
an ethically challenged politician 一位在道德上有缺点的政客
I'm financiallychallenged at the moment . 我眼下身无分文。
另外,有时前面连用名词。如:
attention-challenged children缺少注意力的孩子
