嫌弃

• 拼音: xián qì
• 汉字拆解: 嫌 = 女 + 兼 (woman + both — holding simultaneous distaste); 弃 = 廿 + 子 + 廾 (child placed aside — to discard)

含义

To dislike and reject; to look down on; to shun. Describes an attitude of distaste or disdain towards a person or thing, often leading to rejection or avoidance.

Carries a strong negative emotional tone — more personal and dismissive than 不喜欢 (to not like). Often implies that the rejection is based on perceived inferiority, undesirability, or unpleasantness. Used in interpersonal relationships (嫌弃老人 = to shun the elderly), consumer contexts (嫌弃产品质量差 = to reject a product for poor quality), and self-deprecation (被社会嫌弃 = spurned by society).

例句

1. 她从来不嫌弃来求助的邻居，总是热心地出手相帮，无论事情大小。
2. 他因为一时的落魄而被昔日的朋友嫌弃，这段经历让他对人性有了更为清醒的认识。
3. 老人担心自己年迈体衰会被子女嫌弃，这种忧虑折射出了当代社会养老问题的深层隐忧。

正确说法

• 职场里因背景或学历不同而互相嫌弃，常源于对知识价值的片面理解和隐性等级文化。(In the workplace, mutual disdain based on background or education often comes from a narrow view of knowledge and an implicit hierarchical culture.)

错误说法
