短释义：
Let’s be honest — you never want to be called a dolt. And if you’re a kind person, you’ll never call anyone else a dolt — unless they do something so frustratingly stupid that you can’t take it anymore. Dolt probably came from the Middle English word dullen, meaning “to dull, make or become dazed or stupid.” To help remember what dolt means, say it out loud, with gusto. With its guttural sound, the word itself sounds not very bright.
Dolt指的是一个不太聪明的人。如果你做了一些愚蠢的事情，比如站在车外抱怨你把钥匙锁在车内——尽管车窗大开，你可能会被称为傻瓜。
长释义：

And if you’re a kind person, you’ll never call anyone else a dolt — unless they do something so frustratingly stupid that you can’t take it anymore. Dolt probably came from the Middle English word dullen, meaning “to dull, make or become dazed or stupid.” To help remember what dolt means, say it out loud, with gusto. With its guttural sound, the word itself sounds not very bright.
说实话——你永远不想被称为傻瓜。如果你是一个善良的人，你永远不会称其他人为傻瓜——除非他们做了一些愚蠢到让你无法忍受的事情。 Dolt 可能来自中古英语单词 dullen，意思是“迟钝、使人变得茫然或愚蠢”。为了帮助记住 dolt 的含义，请充满热情地大声说出来。由于其喉音，这个词本身听起来不太明亮。
文学例句：
“Well, she should be, you dolt! Don’t let her get away. You need strong women in your life, if you haven’t noticed. Now, to business.”
“好吧，她应该是的，你这个笨蛋！别让她跑了。如果你没有注意到的话，你的生活中需要坚强的女人。现在，谈正事。”
—The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
