Quick, hasty, not methodical, done rapidly with little attention to detail,
passing quickly over or through something that deserves closer
examination.
Synonyms of cursory include hurried, haphazard, slapdash, and
superficial. Antonyms include thorough, careful, exhaustive, prolonged,
and protracted.
Don't be fooled by the sound of the word cursory; it has nothing to do
with curses or cursing. Cursory comes through the Latin cursorius, running,
from the Latin currere, to run. This Latin currere, to run, is also the root of
the words course, a path on which one moves or runs; curriculum, a
course of study; and courier, a messenger who runs here and there
delivering important documents or urgent news.
By derivation, cursory means “running about, not standing still,” and the
word was once used in this sense. Today, however, cursory is used to
mean done rapidly with little attention to detail, passing quickly over or
through something that deserves closer examination.
A cursory glance is a quick, passing glance. A cursory reading is a hasty,
superficial reading. A cursory explanation is a hurried explanation, one that
covers the subject in a haphazard way. A cursory investigation is not
methodical; it is done rapidly with little attention to detail.
A cursory glance is a quick, passing glance.粗略的一瞥就是匆匆而过的一瞥。
A cursory reading is a hasty, superficial reading.粗略的阅读是草率、肤浅的阅读。
A cursory explanation is a hurried explanation, one that covers the subject in a haphazard way.
粗略的解释是匆忙的解释，一种随意地涵盖主题的解释。
A cursory investigation is not methodical; it is done rapidly with little attention to detail.粗略的调查不是有条不紊的；调查进行得很快，很少注意细节。
By derivation, cursory means “running about, not standing still,” and the word was once used in this sense.通过推导，粗略的意思是“跑来跑去，不停滞不前”，这个词曾经被用在这个意义上。Today, however, cursory is used to mean done rapidly with little attention to detail, passing quickly over or through something that deserves closer examination.
然而，今天，草率被用来指迅速地完成，很少注意细节，快速地经过或通过一些值得仔细检查的东西。
