释义
If something is useless, it has no practical use or does not help in a situation. It can also describe a person who is not effective at doing something, often in a critical way.
用法与细微差别
Common with objects, advice, tools, and efforts: 'a useless app', 'useless information'. When used for people ('I'm useless at math', 'He’s useless in the kitchen'), it can sound harsh, though speakers also use it humorously about themselves. Stronger and more negative than 'not helpful'.
