detract
意味: To diminish the value, quality, or importance of something. Almost always used with 'from.'
Detract is a versatile verb used to describe anything that lessens or takes away from something positive. It commonly appears in reviews, critiques, and evaluations — 'the noise detracts from the dining experience.' The noun 'detractor' refers to a critic or opponent. It is important not to confuse 'detract' (diminish) with 'distract' (divert attention), a common error.
