Sometimes we are inclined to class those who are once-and-a-half-witted with the half-witted, because we appreciate only a third part of their wit. 有时我们把难得聪明的人和愚笨的人归为一类,因为我们只能欣赏他们的三分之一的聪明。
Everybody thought that John's plan to have a barbecue in the middle of January was a half-witted idea. 大家都认为,约翰要在一月中旬搞一次野外宴会的计划是一个傻主意。
Well, that was a pretty half-witted thing to do. 嘿,那是干傻事。
