a learned response是什么意思

问题描述

查词 learned 用作形容词时有两个意思：一是表示“有学问的，博学的”；二是表示“学术性的”。如：
The more learned a man is, the more modest he usually is. 越是有学问的人，通常越谦虚。
He is learned beyond his years. 他是博学不在年高。
There will be a learned lecture. 今天下午这里将有一个学术报告会。
但是下面句子中的learned response 如何理解呢？
Obviously, it’s a learned response—people aren't born that way.

老师答疑

唐老师：

learned 用作形容词时除表示“有学问的，博学的”和“学术性的”外，还有一个意思是，就是表示“通过后天学习得来的”“通过学习（或经验）获得的”。你的句子意思是：
Obviously, it’s a learned response—people aren't born that way. 很显然，那是后天习得的反应——人们并非生来如此。
又如：
Speaking a language is a learned behavior. 说语言是后天的习得。
These eating patterns are a learned behavior. 这些进食模式是习得性行为。
Your anxiety is a learned reaction, and it is nurtured and sustained by the events of your everyday life.  人的焦虑是后天反应，由日常生活中的事件催生和维系。
