difficult to misoperate Explanation: How about this one? "Misoperate" doesn't seem to be a standard English word (it's not listed in any general dictionaries I have access to), but I see it used daily in technical texts. Another option would be the more literal "not easily mistaken" or something along these lines. |

error resistant Explanation: hmmm, just one alternative. I'm sure there must be others, too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2008-03-11 01:30:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- actually, 'error' is probably not the best word here, as it may imply something internal within the machinery or device. I think it would be better to say "resistant to erroneous (or wrong) operation." ご参考までに。 |
