释义

Relating to babies or very young children; it can also mean childish or immature in behavior or attitude.

用法与细微差别

Often formal or disapproving when applied to adults ('infantile behavior'), and not usually used for literal children. Common in medical, psychological, or critical contexts. Do not confuse with simply 'childish'—'infantile' is more severe or technical.
