deaf mute
noun/ˌdef ˈmjuːt/
/ˌdef ˈmjuːt/
(old-fashioned, offensive)- a word for a person who is unable to hear or speak that is now considered offensive
Many people dislike this term because it suggests, wrongly, that deaf people cannot communicate. You can say that somebody is profoundly deaf if they cannot hear at all, or speech-impaired if they have difficulty speaking.形容无法听或说的人的词,现在被认为是冒犯性的
