/ˌʌnfʊlˈfɪld/
形容词,指未被实现的、未被满足的。常用来形容愿望、梦想、承诺等没有达成,也可以形容一个人内心感到空虚、不满足。
She felt unfulfilled in her current job and began looking for new opportunities.
她对目前的工作感到不满足,开始寻找新的机会。
Many of his childhood dreams remained unfulfilled, yet he never stopped believing that one day they might come true.
他童年时的许多梦想仍未实现,但他从未停止相信有一天它们可能会成真。
由前缀 un-(表示"未、不")加上 fulfilled 构成。Fulfill 源自古英语 fullfyllan,由 full(满的)和 fyllan(填满)组合而成,本义是"完全填满",后引申为"实现、完成"。加上否定前缀 un- 后,表示"未被填满的",即"未实现的、未满足的"。
