"Half-hearted about" nghĩa là gì?

"Half-hearted (about someone or something)" = nửa trái tim -> không cố gắng, nỗ lực hết sức mình để làm gì/ quan tâm hời hợt, thiếu năng lượng. 

Ví dụ
Let's be very clear about one thing: Michael Bloomberg's half-hearted apologies about stop-and-frisk (Luật Chặn và Sờ - kiểm tra đột xuất) are a bunch of bullshit (nhảm nhí).

Oil and gas companies have frequently been pilloried (bêu rếu) for trying to burnish (đánh bóng) their green credentials (khả năng, phẩm chất) with half-hearted attempts at clean energy (năng lượng sạch) investments. 

Half-hearted love is not true love. Certainly not. Love and half-heartedness have nothing to do with each other. Half-hearted love is an adulteration (giả tạo), a caricature (châm biếm), a desecration (xúc phạm) of true love. 

During the third T20I of the ongoing India’s tour of New Zealand in Hamilton, India fast bowler (trong môn cricket) Jasprit Bumrah expressed displeasure (bất mãn) with fellow fast bowler Mohammed Shami after the latter put on display a half-hearted fielding effort at third-man.
