pointless（没意义）一词也算它一伙的。
提到这个词，完全是meaning 一词在作怪。
先看几个例子：
1、你这样做是什么意思？
chinglish: what is your meaning in doing this?
revision: what's your point?
2、如果你抽烟的话，哪怕就别怕得癌症。再问“上帝怎么这样对我啊”没什么意义。
chinglish: if you smoke, you should not be afraid to get lung cancer. it's meaningless to ask "why did god do this to me?". （注：meaningless可用，但是老外不爱用，爱用的是我们）
revision: if you smoke, you should be prepared to get lung cancer; it's pointless to
ask "why did god do this to me?".
要洗脑子，转变中式思维习惯，就别怕“矫枉过正”。以后凡是遇到“有意义”、“没意义”的时候，先考虑point/poinless，而不要先考虑meaning什么的。
