Question

midget n.侏儒；极小者adj.极小的 (1) 我爱上了侏儒的母亲。(2) 有一次一个男孩把我推到体育馆的墙上，大声喊道，“你是一个小矮人。” Long ago, people felt free to describe little people as midgets — for example, the actors who played the Munchkins in the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz" were routinely described as midgets. Today we'd avoid describing these actors by their physical characteristics, but if we did they'd be called "little people," "dwarfs," "LP," or even "people of short stature." Save midget for midget crabapples or midget submarines.
