中文释义 adj.辛苦的;勤勉的;十分小心的
n.辛苦;苦心;工夫
英语例句 (1) Planned or executed with painstaking attention to numerous parts or details.
中文例句 (1) 精心制作的对众多部分或细节给予精心注意的计划或制作的
vocabulary简明 If you notice that painstaking is composed of pains and taking, you already have a pretty clear sense of what this adjective means: to be painstaking is to be so careful—so meticulous, so thorough that it hurts.
vocabulary扩展 Painstaking is most commonly paired with detail — in fact, writers might like to avoid the phrase “painstaking detail” as clichéd. In contemporary usage, the agony implied by the word often seems to be shared by both the person who makes a painstaking effort and the person confronted with the fruits of that labor: “Gertrude’s ability to appear politely interested was tested as her dinner companion related his painstaking attempts to establish himself as the true heir to the British throne.”
