同义词

短释义
Anything haphazard is random, disorganized, slipshod, or hit-or-miss. A tent erected haphazardly might look more like a big nylon bag of dirty laundry than a place to sleep.
任何杂乱无章的事情都是随机的、杂乱无章的、草率的或偶然的。随意搭起的帐篷可能看起来更像是一个装脏衣服的大尼龙袋,而不是睡觉的地方。

长释义
Ever heard the expression "I’ll hazard a guess?" In it, the word hazard means "chance," as in "take a chance." Think of the hap in haphazard as short for "happen." Combine hap- and -hazard and you get something that happens (or appears to have happened) by chance. If you approach a math problem with haphazard reasoning, you’re likely to get it wrong.
听说过“我来猜猜看”这样的表达方式吗?在其中,hazard 一词的意思是“机会”,如“抓住机会”。将 hap in acphazard 视为“发生”的缩写。结合偶然和危险,你会得到偶然发生(或似乎已经发生)的事情。如果你用随意的推理来解决数学问题,你很可能会出错。
