基本释义
[adjective] nearsighted
[形容词] 近视的
深入解读
Myopic 一词由 myopia （近视）+形容词后缀 -ic 构成，其基本含义为“近视的、看不远的”，相对于英式英语常用的 shortsighted 和美式英语常用的 nearsighted 而言， myopic 较为正式，比如：
- 她稍微有点儿近视，但她和其他精明的女商人一样外表时髦，举止优雅。
She is slightly myopic, but she is as sleek and elegant as any other shrewd businesswoman.
同 shortsighted 一样， myopic 也很自然地从近视这个概念引申出“目光短浅的、缺乏远见的”的含义，比如：
- 政府在开支问题上仍然目光短浅和满不在乎。
The Government still has a myopic and complacent attitude to spending. - 他们目光短浅，不肯现在行动，使得未来一片渺茫。
Their myopic refusal to act now makes the future look grim.
另外，近视的人除了可以用 a myopic person 表示以外，还可以用专门的单词 myope 表示。
外刊例句
- Start with short-termism. The fear that capitalism is too myopic has a long history.
先从短期主义说起。对资本主义过于短视的恐惧有着长久的历史。
——《经济学人》 - The percentage of myopic people was also higher among university graduates than among graduates of vocational schools or those who had no professional training at all.
大学毕业生中的近视眼也比毕业于职业学校或那些从未受过职业培训的人当中的近视眼更多。
——《纽约时报》

myopic (my OPP ik) From the Greek word for “nearsighted,” this adjec-tive can be used both literally and figuratively. Someone who needs glasses because they cannot see clearly at a distance is “myopic,” but so is someone who is “short-sighted” and “lacks long-range perspective.”
