Onerous(繁重)

今年七月，一名高級警務督察在警署自己的辦公室內開槍射殺自己。上星期，死因研究庭召開聆訊，庭上該名資深警務人員的女上司說他的工作量很大，但並非特別繁重。A veteran police offic er who shot himself in July had a workload that was heavy but not unusually onerous, an inquest was told yesterday by his supervisor。他的另一位前上司在庭上說雖然他的工作量過多，但他的職責一直不是特別繁重。While Chan was overloaded with work, his burden should not have been particularly onerous。

Onerous是「繁重」的意思。它是形容詞，其他例子：Parents have the onerous task of bringing up a very difficult children是「父母把難管教的子女養育成人是很繁重的工作」，The studies involved were less onerous than those for being as a lawyer是「有關的調查並不像當律師所作的調查那麼繁重」。
