عبارت انگلیسی
juvenile
معنی و توضیح
The word “juvenile,” in this podcast, means immature and for children, not for adults: “That artwork is so juvenile. Even my four-year-old daughter could paint like that.” The word “juvenile” also refers to people who are not viewed as adults by the government, usually because they are younger than 18 years old: “Do you think it’s right for juveniles to receive lighter fines and punishments than adults?” A “juvenile delinquent” is a young person who has been convicted of a crime, or who acts like a criminal: “Jesse doesn’t feel safe walking around downtown at night because there are so many juvenile delinquents on the streets.” Finally, when talking about animals, a “juvenile” is a young animal, not yet an adult: “The mature birds have red wings, but the juveniles are covered with white feathers.”
