短視 (Short-sighted)

較早前，政府一名高級官員公開指責立法會議員，說他們阻撓政府建議的銷售稅是短視和不負責任的行為，他的言論造成有關銷售稅的爭論升級。The war of words over the goods and service tax escalated yesterday after a senior government official openly accused lawmakers of being short-sighted and irresponsible in blocking the proposed levy。報章的標題是「官員說反對銷售稅的立法會議員目光短淺」。Lawmakers opposed to GST short-sighted, official says.

Short-sighted 是「目光短淺、短視」的意思。它是形容詞，其他例子：I think they're being very shortsighted about this 是「我認為在這件事上，他們的目光非常短淺」。它的相反詞是 Far-sighted，即「有遠見、眼光遠大」的意思。例如：They welcomed his decision and described it as a far-sighted step 是「他們歡迎他的決定，並形容為有遠見的一著」。
