hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i'm going to talk about the

adjective

bad and i'm going to talk about some

adjectives that are like

leveled up versions of the word bad

so i'm going to introduce a lot of

adjectives that have like

deeper meanings of bad and i'm going to

share some

example sentences so first i want to

introduce

the way i've presented this material so

this is what's

called an adjective wheel so

inside this wheel this circle there are

lots of adjectives

i separated them into groups and so

we're going to see how

all of the groups mean similar things

but we're going to explore

the small differences in meaning so i

want to start

with this part of the wheel so at the

center is the word

bad our focus word i want to begin

with this part we're going to focus on

these three words to begin

so from the center the next word out

is the word decayed this is an adjective

all of these are adjectives

and outside of decayed there are two

more words

so here in this group we have decayed

rotten and spoiled so this is

r-o-t-t-e-n rotten but in american

english we usually pronounce it as

rotten rotten spoiled is pronounced as

it is spelled

spoiled you may also hear this word

pronounced in british english and

perhaps

australian english as spoilt spoiled

with a t sound at the end so decayed

the root here is decay which means that

something is like is very

old or maybe it's dead and it's

becoming like in a worse state than

originally

spoiled and rotten share a meaning which

means that something

is like maybe growing mold like in your

refrigerator

or it's no longer safe to eat as with

food

we can also use this word to talk about

like children

who have had like too much good stuff

like too much candy or too much money or

too much

fun they expect too many fun things so

it's something

that was maybe good before but now is

not

good so these are things that are

spoiled or rotten

let's look at how we use these words in

sentences you'll notice

a theme here first let's look at the

word

decayed we found a decayed animal

next to the road so a decayed animal

this means that the animal is dead

and that means the body is decomposing

so to decompose

means it's not um like an animal shape

anymore the body is slowly breaking into

small pieces so it has like this really

disgusting

image a decayed animal

another word rotten so

in this sentence i've used this ew it

was a way that we

express disgust casually ew so

ew there's rotten food in your fridge

so rotten food means the food is not

safe to eat the food smells bad

something is rotten there's rotten food

in your fridge

and i think this milk is spoiled

i think this milk is spoiled so these

two words when you're talking about

food you can use them in the same way

like i think this milk is

rotten or ew there's spoiled food in

your fridge

you can use both of those in the same

way so we use these a lot to talk about

food and drinks

decay sends tends to sound a little more

serious like maybe it's

maybe after like a natural disaster like

a person maybe or like an animal

something that maybe sounds a little

more

severe we might use decay for that so

this is our first

group in this adjective wheel let's move

on to this next part over here these

three words

the words are stressful unpleasant

and troubling stressful unpleasant and

troubling

so stressful we see inside this word is

stress

stress so something that causes us to

feel stress

is stressful in this word unpleasant

we see un meaning not and pleasant so

pleasant means a good thing

something we enjoy but unpleasant means

not enjoyable something we do not enjoy

and finally troubling something is

troubling

so trouble is here in this word so that

means it causes

us to sense trouble so maybe we don't

feel trouble but maybe we feel concerned

or we feel

worried so let's look at how we use

these words

in sentences first let's look at

stressful

moving to a new house is so stressful

so it causes us stress

now let's look at unpleasant here that

meeting was really

unpleasant so it was not enjoyable

maybe someone had an argument or there

was a big disagreement

that meeting was really unpleasant so

not good

and causing stress as well third

troubling

there was troubling information in the

company report

so troubling means like we have a sense

that trouble

is happening or there's some trouble

somewhere so it's trouble

and like stress it causes a stress and

we sense

trouble so troubling and unpleasant are

not necessarily the same

thing so the meeting was maybe

unpleasant

but it might not have been troubling

maybe there was no

sense of like trouble or a problem it

was just not a good meeting maybe people

were unhappy

so these are kind of related similar

adjectives but not

quite the same okay let's continue on to

this group at the bottom of the wheel

this group here of three the base kind

of here for this group is

poor quality poor quality so

poor quality means not good quality so

for example things that are maybe very

cheap are sometimes

poor quality or things that we make very

quickly

are poor quality the other two words in

this group

are the very casual crappy some people

might consider crappy a curse word so

please be careful

you might hear crappy or crummy crummy

is good to use

if you're worried about this sounding

like a swear word crummy is spelled

c-r-u-m-m-y crummy

or you might hear cheap also a more

polite word to use especially at work is

unsatisfactory

unsatisfactory so let's look at how to

use these words

first poor quality for example my phone

case

is really poor quality is really poor

quality

so that means maybe it breaks easily or

it doesn't protect my phone or it

scratches really easily for example

so my phone case is really poor quality

let's move on then to crappy so crappy

as i said

has like a very casual meaning about it

so something that's crappy

um sounds really really low we can also

use it to describe our feelings like i

feel really

crappy today here in my example sentence

i bought a super crappy pair of shoes

online

so here i've also used the modifier

super

so super also indicates it's a very

casual situation so we use this word

mostly

among close friends and we don't use it

in polite

situations so crappy means extremely

poor quality very low quality

finally let's look at this word

unsatisfactory unsatisfactory

and if we break this word down we see

the prefix here

on combined with satisfactory

the root here is the word satisfy so

satisfy to satisfy means like to be

pleased with something

to be happy about something so this

means

not satisfied with something not happy

about

something in relationship to quality as

well

okay so in an example sentence your

sales performance this quarter

was unsatisfactory it was unsatisfactory

so that means

your performance was of poor quality

but that means that it's like something

that we were not satisfied

by so it was not good but this is a

polite way to say

like we wish you had done better for

example

okay so that's this bottom group here

that relates to

poor quality a poor quality meaning

let's move on to the next group then

this

group here so the base word in this

group is

mean mean so mean is very commonly used

among

kids for someone who is being unkind

someone is unkind we can say that person

is mean

after mean i have these two words which

are evil

and corrupt so evil often refers to like

characters in

stories so someone who is we could say

very bad like the bad guy or like the

villain

in a story is often considered evil so

someone who is evil is like

100 percent bad so they want to do

um mean things or unkind things or

terrible things

corrupt is a bit different corrupt is

used a lot in the real world to talk

about real world

uh people and real world situations not

just characters and stories

corrupt means that someone is influenced

in a negative way

so often like they're taking money or

they're taking favors

in exchange for a service exchange for

something

so let's look at how we use these

adjectives first with mean

a common example is something like this

kids might say why are you being so

mean so why are you being so unkind

so maybe a child would say this to like

their parents

when told they can't do something why

are you being so mean

here with the use of evil a question do

you think darth vader was truly an

evil character so evil means do you

really think that he was 100

bad so evil here as i said relates a lot

to like

stories and storytelling finally the

word corrupt

uh in this example sentence many people

think

politicians are corrupt so that means

again

exchanging something like money or

favors in exchange for

another favor in this case in politics

so

these all kind of relate to unkindness

being unkind or being

mean as an extension of bad okay

finally then this last group here these

three words the base here is

harmful harmful so causing harm here we

see full

at the end of harm as we saw with

stressful here

so these words refer to causing that

thing

causing stress and causing harm here

so harmful means something that causes

us like to feel maybe in danger

or it causes harm as i said so within

that idea

there are two adjectives first is

dangerous

so the root here is danger so something

that

could be like potentially unsafe

for people's health or to their body and

the other word

is detrimental detrimental so here we

have detriment

inside this word which means like it

causes a loss

in some way so it causes like a

reduction of some kind a decrease of

some kind in something

so let's look at how we use these in

sentences

first is harmful secondhand smoke is

harmful to people's health so again it

causes harm it causes

damage to people's health second is the

word dangerous

in this example don't drive so fast it's

dangerous it's unsafe to drive so fast

and finally detrimental he gave a

terrible speech last year

it was detrimental to his career

this is a common way that we use

detrimental so we follow detrimental

with your preposition to so detrimental

to

what this shows us it was detrimental

meaning it caused

a loss and this part here after the

adjective

explains what like was reduced or what

decreased because of this other thing so

in this case

his career kind of decreased or he like

lost maybe something good about his

career it caused

damage to his career so we use this

pattern detrimental to

something to explain that okay so that's

the final group there

but this is a quick into introduction to

just actually a few words that mean bad

there are a lot more words but you can

check

a thesaurus to see some more examples

and to get a few more example sentences

as well

so you can check out a lot more words

that mean bad

but these are some good ways i think to

start leveling up your use of this

adjective

so if you have any questions or comments

or if you want to practice making an

example sentence

想从第一节课开始说真正的英语

在

englishclass101.com 注册您的免费终身帐户 大家好，我的名字是艾丽西亚，在这

节课中，我将谈论

形容词

坏，我将谈论一些

形容词 就像

bad这个词的升级版本，

所以我要介绍很多

形容词，这些形容词

对bad有更深的含义，我要

分享一些

例句，所以首先我想

介绍一下我提出这个的方式 材料 所以

这就是

所谓的形容词轮 所以

在这个轮子里面 这个圈子有

很多形容词

我把它们分成组 所以

我们要看看

所有组的意思是怎样的

但我们要

探索小的 含义上的差异，所以我

想从

轮子的这一部分开始，所以在

中心是单词

bad 我们的焦点词我想

从这部分开始，我们将专注于

这三个词

从中心开始下一个 说出来

是腐烂这个词这是一个形容词

所有这些都是

形容词在腐烂之外还有

两个词

所以在这个组中我们已经腐烂

腐烂了所以这是

腐烂腐烂但在美式

英语中我们通常将其发音为

腐烂腐烂的 发音

就像拼写一样

被损坏 你也可能听到这个

词在英式英语和

澳大利亚英语中的发音 被宠坏

了 在结尾的声音中带有 at 音所以衰变

这里的词根是衰变 这意味着

某物很

旧或者它可能已经死了 它

变得比

最初

被宠坏和腐烂的状态更糟 共享一个含义，这

意味着某些

东西可能像冰箱里的霉菌一样，

或者像食物一样不能安全食用，

我们也可以像孩子一样用这个词来谈论

喜欢太多好东西的人，

比如太多的糖果、太多的钱或

太多的

乐趣，他们期待太多有趣的东西，所以

这是 也许以前很好，但现在

不好，所以这些都是被

宠坏或腐烂的东西

让我们看看我们如何在句子中使用这些词

你会注意到

这里的一个主题首先让我们看看腐烂这个

词

我们在路边发现了一只腐烂的

动物 所以一个腐烂的动物

这意味着动物已经死了

，这意味着身体正在腐烂，

所以分解

意味着它不再像动物形状

了，身体正在慢慢分解成

小块，所以它有这样一个非常

恶心的

形象一个腐烂的动物

另一个 腐烂这个词所以

在这句话中我用了这个 ew 这

是我们

随便表达厌恶的一种方式 ew so

ew 你的冰箱里有腐烂的食物

所以腐烂的食物意味着食物不能

安全食用 食物闻

起来很臭

冰箱里的食物

，我认为这牛奶

变质了 冰箱里变质的食物

你可以用同样的方式使用这两种食物，

所以我们经常用这些来谈论

食物和饮料的

腐烂发送听起来更

严重，就像可能是

在像一个人这样的自然灾害之后

也许或像动物一样

听起来

可能更严重的东西 我们可能会为此使用衰变 所以

这是我们

在这个形容词轮中的第一组 让我们

继续下一部分在这里 这

三个词

这些词是有压力的 不愉快的

和令人不安的 有压力的 并且

troubling sostressful 我们在这个词中看到的是

压力

压力 所以让我们

感到压力的东西

在这个词中是有压力的

不喜欢

，最后麻烦的是

麻烦，

所以麻烦就在这个词里，这

意味着它使

我们感觉到麻烦，所以也许我们不会

感到麻烦 但也许我们感到担心

或者我们感到

担心所以让我们先看看我们如何

在句子中使用这些词让我们看看

压力

搬到新房子压力很大

所以它会给我们带来压力

现在让我们看看这里的不愉快

会议真的

很不愉快所以 这很不愉快，

也许有人发生了争执，或者

存在很大的分歧

，认为会议真的很不愉快，所以

不好，也会造成压力。

或者某处有一些麻烦

，所以它很麻烦

，就像压力一样，它会引起压力，

我们感觉到

麻烦和不愉快

不一定是

一回事，所以会议可能

不愉快，

但可能没有麻烦，

也许没有

类似麻烦的感觉 或者一个问题，

只是不是一次好的会议，也许人们

不开心，

所以这些是相关的类似

形容词，但不是

完全一样，好吧，让我们继续讨论

轮子底部的

这个组，这个组是三个，这个组的基本类型

是

质量差质量差所以质量差意味着质量不好

，例如可能非常

便宜的东西 有时

质量很差或我们很快做的东西

质量很差

这个组

中的另外两个词是非常随意的 crappy 有些人

可能会认为 crappy 是一个诅咒词所以

请小心

你可能会听到 crappy 或 crummy

crummy 很好用

如果 你担心这听起来

像一个发誓的词 crummy 被拼写为

crummy crummy

或者你可能会听到便宜 一个更

礼貌的词，尤其是在工作中使用是

不

令人满意的，所以让我们先看看如何

使用这些词

质量差，例如我的手机

外壳

质量真的很差 质量真的很差，

所以这意味着它可能很容易破裂，或者

它不能保护我的手机，或者它

很容易刮花，

例如，我的 手机壳质量真的很差，

让我们继续说蹩脚的，

就像我说

的那样蹩脚的意思很随意，

所以很蹩脚的东西

听起来真的很低，我们也可以

用它来描述我们的感受，就像我

今天在这里感觉很糟糕一样 在我的例句中，

我在网上买了一双超级蹩脚的鞋子，

所以在这里我也使用了修饰语

超级，

所以超级也表示这是一个非常

随意的情况，所以我们

主要

在亲密的朋友中使用这个词，我们不会

在礼貌中使用它

情况 so crappy 意味着

极差的质量 非常低的质量

最后让我们看看这个词

unsatisfactory unsatisfactory

如果我们把这个词分解，我们会看到

这里的前缀

和

satisfable 的词根这里的词是same so

meet to meet 意味着喜欢很

高兴 对某

事感到高兴，所以这

意味着

对与质量有关的某事不满意，

也

可以，所以在一个例子中森 您

本季度的销售业绩

不令人满意 不令人满意，

因此这意味着

您的业绩质量较差，

但这意味着它就像

我们不满意

的东西，所以它不好，但这是一种

礼貌的表达方式，

就像我们希望你一样 做得更好，

例如

好的，所以这

是与质量差有关的底部组，

质量差的意思是

让我们继续下一组，然后是

这里的这个组，所以这个组中的基本词

是平均值，所以平均值

在

孩子们中很常用 对于一个不友善的

人，某人不友善，我们可以说那个人

是一个又一个卑鄙

的人 或者就像

故事中的反派通常被认为是邪恶的，所以

邪恶的人就像

100% 的坏人一样，所以他们想做一些

卑鄙的事情或不友善的事情或

可怕的事情

腐败是 ab 它不同的腐败

在现实世界中被大量使用来

谈论现实世界

呃人和现实世界的情况而

不仅仅是人物和故事

腐败意味着某人经常

受到负面影响，

就像他们正在拿钱或

他们正在拿钱 优惠

以换取服务交换

让我们先看看我们如何使用这些

形容词来表示意思

一个常见的例子是这样的

孩子可能会说你为什么这么

卑鄙所以你为什么这么不友善

所以也许孩子会说

当被告知他们不能做某事时，这会喜欢他们的父母，

为什么您在

这里使用邪恶如此刻薄一个问题，

您是否认为达斯·维达（darth vader）真的是一个

邪恶的角色，所以邪恶的意思是您

真的认为他是100个

坏人吗？ 正如我所说的，这里的邪恶

与喜欢

故事和讲故事有很大关系，最后

这个例句中的“腐败”这个词很多人

认为

政治家是腐败的，所以这意味着

再次

交换金钱或

fa之类的东西 vors 以换取

在这种情况下在政治上的另一个好处，

所以

这些都与

不友善有关，不友善或

卑鄙是坏事的延伸，好吧，

最后这最后一组，这

三个词，这里的基础是

有害的，有害的，所以我们在这里造成伤害

看到完整

的伤害结束，正如我们在这里看到的

压力一样，

所以这些词指的是造成那个

东西

造成压力并在这里造成伤害，

所以有害的意思是让

我们感觉可能处于危险之中

或者它造成伤害的东西，正如我所说的

那样 想法

有两个形容词首先是

危险的，

所以这里的词根是危险，所以

可能

对人们的健康或他们的身体可能不安全的东西

，另一个词

是有害的有害的，所以在这里我们

在这个词里面有损害，这意味着它

会导致

以某种方式损失，因此它会导致

某种减少某种事物的某种减少

所以让我们先看看我们如何在句子中使用这些

是有害的 seco 手烟

对人们的健康有害，所以它再次

造成伤害 它对

人们的健康造成损害 第二

是这个例子中的危险这个词 不要开得太快 开得太快很

危险 开得太快是不安全的

，最后是有害的 他去年发表了

可怕的演讲

这对他的职业生涯有害

这是我们使用有害的常用方式，

因此我们

使用您的介词来遵循有害的介词，

对这向我们展示的内容如此有害，这是有害的

意思是它造成

了损失，形容词之后的这一部分

解释了喜欢的内容减少了 或者

因为其他事情而减少了什么，所以

在这种情况下，

他的职业生涯有所下降，或者他喜欢

失去可能对他的职业生涯有好处的东西，这对他的

职业生涯造成了

损害，所以我们使用这种

对某些东西有害的模式

来解释那好吧，所以这

是最后一组 那里，

但这是一个快速介绍，

实际上只有几个词意味着不好

还有更多的词，但你可以

查看同义词库 查看更多示例

并获得更多示例句子

表示不好的单词，
