看答案
needy

同義改寫
Our office is collecting winter coats for needy families in the neighborhood. → Our office is collecting winter coats for families in the neighborhood that are poor and need help.
poor and need help 完整保留 needy 在此處「貧困且需要援助」的意思。
During the workshop, Leo said he sometimes seemed emotionally needy at work. → During the workshop, Leo said he sometimes seemed to want too much emotional attention from others at work.
改寫保留「顯得過度渴求他人情感關注」的意思，也保留 sometimes 與 seemed 的限定；此用法可能帶批評語氣，並非醫療診斷。
