How it's used

This expression captures a specific state of lethargy or lack of spirit, often implying that someone looks physically or mentally deflated. It is frequently used to describe someone who has lost their usual spark or vitality due to illness, boredom, or exhaustion. The inclusion of 厘 adds an idiomatic, slightly dismissive flair that emphasizes the complete absence of energy.

Examples

Why do you look so drained? Are you not feeling well?

Common phrases

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a general term for being tired, but it specifically describes an outward appearance of listlessness rather than just the internal feeling of fatigue.
