1. 這是個什么詞？

2. 為什么選這個詞？
“counterproductive”是形容詞，從它的構(gòu)詞（counter + productive）可以看得出它的意思是“產(chǎn)生相反效果的、事與愿違的、適得其反的”。它會常常修飾政策、策略、規(guī)則、措施等詞。在寫解決方法類的文章時可以用到這個詞。
管教孩子本意是好的，也是必需的，但如果對孩子過分嚴(yán)格，不給他們?nèi)魏巫杂珊蛡€人空間，結(jié)果可能會適得其反。這時候我們就可以說：
Disciplining children is well-meaning and necessary, but being too strict with them may be counterproductive.
有的人認為幫助弱勢群體最好的辦法是給予直接的經(jīng)濟援助，但這可能并不會產(chǎn)生理想的效果，最好的方法應(yīng)該是通過公平的制度來實現(xiàn)。我們就可以說：
Giving money to the disadvantaged group seems to be a panacea, but in truth it can be troublingly counterproductive.
《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》在一篇關(guān)于垃圾定價的文章中有這么一句：
Without carbon pricing, subsidies to renewables can be counterproductive.
也就是說可再生能源的補貼要想達到理想的預(yù)期，必須要有合理的碳定價才行。
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個詞？
1）翻譯下面的句子：
在努力省錢的同時靠信貸生活會適得其反。
Living on credit while trying to save money is counterproductive.
（參考翻譯： Living on credit while trying to save money is counterproductive.）
2）結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句。
例子： 網(wǎng)絡(luò)戰(zhàn)爭
場景： Cyber sounds scary. Cyber-criminals can empty your bank account;cyber terrorists are the stuff of Hollywood thrillers. Cyber-espionage involves stealing state secrets or intellectual property. You do not have to understand how computers work to be worried about the damage to you, your work or your country. Yet businesses seeking to increase their sales, and officials and politicians who want more money and power, love tales of doom and gloom. Trade is booming for what some have dubbed the “cyber-industrial complex”. State agencies demand more power to fend off a dreadful attack by a foreign enemy—a kind of “digital Pearl Harbor”. Companies peddle security advice and software, often with a hefty price tag. Being too paranoid about the cyber world, however,might be counterproductive. Computer code can do lots of things, but it is not a weapon of war as it is expensive to acquire, unreliable and fiddly. Cyber weapons will be used, but as part of sabotage or terrorism rather than all-out war.
