1. Slipshod assistance, foolish inattention, dowdy indifference, and half-hearted work seem the rule; 工作山拖拖拉拉，漫不经心，无足轻重，三心二意似乎已成常态；
2. "the new owners' camp . . . a slipshod and slovenly affair, tent half stretched, dishes unwashed" (Jack London); “新主人的营地…随便而邋遢，帐篷半开着，盘子没有洗”（杰克·伦敦）。
3. It is almost impossible for a Dwarf to hurry his work, and no Dwarf could ever bring himself to produce something slipshod or cheap. 由于矮人并不愿意制造一些差劲的用品，所以他们接会有条不紊地慢慢工作，直到制品完成为止。
