Significado: Cool and distant in manner; deliberately keeping oneself apart from others, whether physically or emotionally.

Distante; frío y reservado en el trato; que se mantiene deliberadamente apartado de los demás, ya sea física o emocionalmente.

Aloof implies a conscious choice to maintain distance, whether from pride, shyness, or disdain. It is almost always used critically or at least neutrally — an aloof person is seen as unfriendly or snobbish rather than admirably self-contained. The word functions as both adjective and adverb. Common collocations include 'stand aloof,' 'remain aloof from,' 'aloof manner,' and 'aloof and unapproachable.' The noun form is 'aloofness.'

'aloof'暗示一种有意保持距离的选择，无论出于骄傲、害羞还是轻蔑。它几乎总是带有批评或至少中性的色彩——被形容为aloof的人被视为不友好或势利，而非令人钦佩的独立。该词既可作形容词也可作副词。常见搭配包括'stand aloof'（置身事外）、'remain aloof from'（与……保持距离）、'aloof manner'（疏远的态度）和'aloof and unapproachable'（冷漠而不可接近的）。名词形式为'aloofness'。

Aloof implica una elección consciente de mantener la distancia, ya sea por orgullo, timidez o desdén. Se emplea casi siempre de forma crítica o, como mucho, neutra: una persona aloof se percibe como antipática o esnob, no como admirablemente autosuficiente. La palabra funciona tanto como adjetivo como adverbio. Las colocaciones habituales incluyen 'stand aloof,' 'remain aloof from,' 'aloof manner' y 'aloof and unapproachable.' El sustantivo es 'aloofness.'

aloofは、誇り、内気さ、または軽蔑から、意識的に距離を保つ選択を示唆する。ほぼ常に批判的か、少なくとも中立的に使われる——aloofな人は、称賛されるべき自立した人間としてではなく、愛想がない、あるいは高慢な人物として見られる。形容詞としても副詞としても機能する。よく使われる組み合わせには「stand aloof」「remain aloof from」「aloof manner」「aloof and unapproachable」がある。名詞形は「aloofness」。

Aloof는 자존심, 수줍음, 또는 경멸에서 비롯된 의식적인 거리두기를 의미한다. 거의 항상 비판적이거나 최소한 중립적으로 사용되며, aloof한 사람은 감탄할 만큼 자기 충족적이기보다는 비우호적이거나 거만하게 여겨진다. 이 단어는 형용사와 부사 모두로 기능한다. 일반적인 연어 표현으로는 'stand aloof(초연히 서다)', 'remain aloof from(~으로부터 거리를 두다)', 'aloof manner(쌀쌀맞은 태도)', 'aloof and unapproachable(냉담하고 다가가기 어려운)' 등이 있으며, 명사형은 'aloofness'이다.
