短释义：
Wimp is an informal, derogatory way to refer to someone who’s nervous or unadventurous, like calling them a “chicken” or “crybaby.” And when you wimp out, you don’t follow through on something because you’re too scared: “I didn’t mean to wimp out, but when I got up there, I changed my mind about bungee jumping.” Experts aren’t sure about the origin of wimp but think it may be connected to whimper, “cry softly and fearfully.”
懦夫是指害怕或软弱的人。如果你不想坐过山车，你也不必这么做——不要因为担心朋友会说你是懦夫而让自己被说服。

Wimp 是一种非正式的、贬义的方式，用来指代紧张或缺乏冒险精神的人，比如称他们为“胆小鬼”或“爱哭鬼”。当你胆怯时，你不会坚持做某件事，因为你太害怕了：“我不是故意胆怯的，但当我站起来时，我改变了对蹦极的想法。”专家们不确定“wimp”的起源，但认为它可能与“呜咽”有关，“轻柔而恐惧地哭泣”。

“现在别再做懦夫了，回到这里吧。”

词源：
wimp(n.)1920 (George Ade, not attested again until 1960), perhaps a clipped form of whimper (cf whimp, 1540s), later perhaps influenced by J. Wellington Wimpy, comparatively unaggressive character in “Popeye” comics, who debuted in 1931. Wimp also formerly was slang for “female, young woman” (1923), of obscure origin. Also compare old slang wump “foolish or feeble person” (1908).also from 1920
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
wimp(n.)1920（George Ade，直到 1960 年才再次得到证实），可能是 Whimper 的一种剪裁形式（参见 Whimp，1540 年代），后来可能受到 J. Wellington Wimpy 的影响，Wimpy 是《大力水手》漫画中相对温和的角色，于 1931 年首次亮相。Wimp 以前也是俚语，意为“女性、年轻女子”（1923 年），属于晦涩难懂的起源。另请比较旧俚语 wump“愚蠢或软弱的人”（1908 年）。也来自 1920 年
