aberration
意味: A departure from what is normal, usual, or expected, typically an unwelcome one.
Aberration implies that something is not merely different but wrong or undesirable — a deviation from an accepted standard. In optics, it refers to a defect in a lens or mirror. In genetics, it describes an abnormal chromosome structure. In everyday language, it suggests a temporary lapse or an exception that does not reflect the true state of affairs: 'The defeat was an aberration in an otherwise successful season.'
