Comments: | Was specifically looking for a term for "impractical". Wasn't sure about the entries here, and searched reverso and found this. Reverso is roughly 50/50 unrealistic/impractical. Since 現実的 is already "realistic, pragmatic", this would seems consistent. (not pragmatic = impractical) alc has a laundry list of possibilities. Might be worth taking a glance, though the seem to have grabbed every conceivable synonym for this term. But, "impractical" is on the list as: impractical(計画・考え・目標などが) "impractical goal" is exactly what I was looking for. Don't know if parentheticals are needed here or not , i.e. impractical (e.g. plan, goal, etc.) One of the glosses is "pie in the sky" :) That makes more sense for a E->J dictionary I think, but it does seem to back up the meaning I was going for. |
