Наблюдая за тем, как люди общаются на английском в Интернете, мы сделали одно открытие – слово «stupid» (дурак, тупой) пользуется огромной популярностью, причем его применяют не только к людям. Нет конца списка вещей или людей, называемых stupid в устной и письменной речи, например:
- The government and parliament are stupid. – правительство и парламент глупы.
- All the girls are stupid. – все девушки глупые.
- April Fool’s Day is boring and stupid. – первое апреля — глупый и скучный праздник.
- Reading is stupid. – чтение бессмысленно.
- Classical and pop-music is stupid. – классическая и поп-музыка дурацкая.
- Riding a horse is stupid. – кататься на лошади глупо.
Странно, почему англо-язычные люди используют именно stupid, тогда как английский язык богат десятками слов, выражающих различные степени и оттенки глупости (stupidity).
Для начала рассмотрим значение самого слова «stupid». Некоторые расценивают его как антоним слова intelligent (умный), но на самом деле это неверно. Intelligent people (умные/интеллигентные люди) часто говорят и делают stupid things (глупости).
Слово «Stupid» происходит от латинского прилагательного stupidus, которое в свою очередь происходит от латинского глагола stupere, «быть ошеломленным или оцепеневшим». Английское «stupid» все еще используется в данном значении, например, человек может быть stupid (оцепенеть) от удара по голове, “stupid with grief” (ошеломлен или удручен горем), “stupid with sleep” (заторможенным от сна) “stupid from lack of sleep” (от недосыпа) или “stupid with drink” (одурманенный алкоголем). В этом контексте stupidity (глупость) является временным явлением. Оно вызвано ослабленной способностью думать и реагировать нормально.
Но чаще всего, в устной речи, когда слово stupid применяется к человеку, оно означает “медленное умственное восприятие.” Человек, которого называют stupid, попросту тупой (slow-witted), мозг которого не способен быстро переваривать информацию. Если stupid применяется к предметам, вещам или понятиям, значит, они скучны (dull), неинтересны (uninteresting) или необдуманны (ill-considered).
Синонимы слова stupid
Существует множество синонимов слову stupid. Если необходимо отметить ошибочное или необдуманное, в серьезных обсуждениях, литературы, личных отношений и общественных дел используются следующие слова:
- Unintelligent – невежественный
- Foolish – глупый, безрассудный, нелепый
- Vacuous – праздный, пустой, бессодержательный
- Vapid – скучный, неинтересный
- Obtuse – тупой, бестолковый
- Nonsensical – бессмысленный, нелепый, тупой
- Unwise – неблагоразумный, неразумный
- Injudicious – необдуманный, неразумный
- Inane – пустой, глупый
- Absurd – абсурдный, нелепый
- Fatuous – дурацкий, глупый, бессмысленный
- Asinine – глупый, упрямый, ослиный
- Unthinking – легкомысленный, необдуманный
- ill-advised – опрометчивый, неразумный, необдуманный
- ill-considered – неразумный, непродуманный
- ludicrous – нелепый, смешной, курьезный
- ridiculous – нелепый, смехотворный
- laughable – забавный, смешной
- risible – смешной, смехотворный
Некоторые слова, приемлемые для разговорной речи, считаются неприемлемыми для формальной, потому что они когда-то использовались для описания различных умственных отклонений, например:
- idiotic – идиотский, дурацкий
- imbecilic – имбецильный
- moronic – слабоумный, идиотский
- cretinous – идиотский, слабоумный, кретинический
Примечание: слова ignorant и dumb также используются в разговорной речи для обозначения «слабоумный», но это неудачный выбор. Каждый может быть ignorant (грубый, невоспитанный, темный, неотесанный) в некоторых областях, т.е. основное значение ignorant – недостаточные знания. Аналогично, dumb также обладает значением, не имеющим отношения к умственным способностям – это «неспособность говорить». Интеллигентный, хорошо осведомленный человек также может по какой-то причине и на какое-то время стать немым, потерять дар речи, хотя бы в переносном смысле.
Некоторые слова, подразумевающие замедленное мышление, также несут в себе значение смехотворности и пренебрежения:
- dense – глупый или тупой
- doltish – придурковатый или тупой
- thick, thickheaded – тупоголовый
- dim, dimwitted – недалекий, тупоголовый, тупой
- dopey – глупый, тупой, вялый
- dozy – ленивый, тупой
- pea-brained – бестолковый, безмозглый
- half-witted – полоумный
- brain-dead – рассеянный, глупый
- bone-headed – дурацкий, тупой
- daft – слабоумный, безрассудный
- crazy – сумасшедший
- cracked – выживший из ума, помешанный
- half-baked – придурковатый
- dimwitted – тупоголовый, неумный
- cockeyed – бестолковый, дурацкий
- harebrained – бездумный, с куриными мозгами
- lamebrained – тупой, глупый
- nutty – психованный, помешанный
- batty cuckoo – тронутый, спятивший
- simple-minded – простодушный, глуповатый
- loony – полоумный, сумасшедший
- loopy – чокнутый
И, наконец, несколько прилагательных обозначают глупость без смехотворности, хотя бы в кругу друзей. Вот они:
- daft – спятивший, свихнувшийся
- dopey – одурманенный
- dozy – ленивый, тупой
- scatter-brained – ветреный, рассеянный, легкомысленный
- nutty – рехнувшийся
- batty – тронутый, сумасшедший
- cuckoo – глупец, разиня
- loony – полоумный, сумасшедший
- loopy – чокнутый
P.S. Хотя в английском языке такой потрясающий выбор слов, касающихся слабоумия, очень часто STUPID – это единственное слово, приносящее настоящее удовлетворение, и в полной мере отражающее настроение говорящего.

stupid
That is absurd which is contrary to the first principles of reasoning; as, that a part should be greater than the whole is absurd. A paradoxical statement appears at first thought contradictory or absurd, while it may be really true. Anything is irrational when clearly contrary to sound reason, foolish when contrary to practical good sense, silly when petty and contemptible in its folly, erroneous when containing error that vitiates the result, unreasonable when there seems a perverse bias or an intent to go wrong. Monstrous and preposterous refer to what is overwhelmingly absurd; as, «O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two,» Shakespeare 1 King Henry IV, act ii, sc. 4. The ridiculous or the nonsensical is worthy only to be laughed at. The lunatic’s claim to be a king is ridiculous; the Mother Goose rimes are nonsensical. Compare INCONGRUOUS.
