释义 | dyslexia (once / 53725 pages) n Dyslexia is a reading disorder. For people who have it, letters seem to move on the page or reverse themselves. If you have dyslexia, you may read '12' as '21,' or 'b' as 'd' or even 'p.' Dyslexia is from the Greek roots dys "difficult," and lexis "word." Although dyslexia literally means difficulty with words, someone who suffers from dyslexia may also have trouble in other areas like math, telling time, or even telling left and right. Famous dyslexics include Thomas Edison, John Lennon, and Whoopi Goldberg.
