impracticality

I resent comments on the impracticality of small cars.

我反对说小骄车不实的说法。

This would seem to be a complimentary term, but in point of fact it is not, for it has picked up associations of impracticality and ineffectuality and general dopiness.

这看起来是称赞的词语，但是事实上不是。因为它有不切实际的、无的和大致麻痹状态的联想。
