形容詞

indirect (comparative more indirect, superlative most indirect)

1. (Can we clean up⁽⁺⁾ this sense?) Not direct; roundabout; deceiving; setting a trap; confusing.
   • 1974, Thomas S. Szasz, M.D., chapter 8, in The Myth of Mental Illness‎^[1], →ISBN, page 139-140:

     Indirect messages permit communicative contacts when, without them, the alternatives would be total inhibition, silence, and solitude on the one hand, or, on the other, communicative behavior that is direct, offensive, and hence forbidden. This is a painful choice. In actual practice, neither alternative is likely to result in the gratification of personal or sexual needs. In this dilemma, indirect communications provide a useful compromise. As an early move in the dating game, the young man might invite the young woman to dinner or to the movies.
