deplorable
意味: Shockingly bad, unacceptable, or deserving of strong condemnation. Also used to describe conditions of extreme poverty or neglect.
Deplorable is a word of strong disapproval, used to condemn behaviour, conditions, or standards that fall far below what is acceptable. It appears frequently in political speeches, editorials, and formal complaints. 'Deplorable conditions' typically refers to housing, sanitation, or working environments. The word gained renewed political currency in 2016 when used controversially to describe a segment of the electorate.
