lazy, idle
这两个词共同的意思是“懒散的”。它们的区别是：
lazy指人的性情贪闲偷懒,松懈拖沓,在工作或学习上不勤奋或根本厌恶努力向上,一般用作贬义词;idle多指人由于客观原因而一时无事可做或物闲置他处,一般不含贬义,有时也指懒惰,但不如lazy常用。例如:
In that country many workers were unemployed and forced to remain idle.在那个国家有许多工人失业,被迫闲混。
He is a lazy fellow.Don't expect him to finish the work in time.他是个懒蛋,别指望他按时完成工作。
idle，lazy
这两个形容词均有“闲散、懒惰”之意。
idle通常指不忙，无事可干，一般不含应责备之意。
lazy指好逸恶劳，贪闲偷懒，或不愿学习或工作等，常含应受责备之意。
