Question

disingenuous adj.不老实的；不诚实的；虚伪的 (1) 要是说我们当时还没有怀疑他们，那就是言不由衷了。(2) 这本书很有趣，也很调侃，并且有时，不那么真诚。 Disingenuous combines dis-, meaning not, with ingenuous (from the Latin gen-, meaning born) which was originally used to distinguish free-born Romans from slaves, and later came to mean honest or straightforward. So disingenuous means dishonest. Ingenuous is less common now than disingenuous, but we still use it for someone who is sincere to the point of naiveté. A good synonym is insincere.
