小白再来答一下~先说明俺只能在词典层面回答一下哈，涉及到单词的实际使用情况或约定俗成的用法确实不太了解T_T

对于3000里中文释义的话，“花心思”还算比较贴切一些，个人感觉onerous这个词不太能体现出“费时间“这层意思。

其实看3000上的近义词：arduous, burdensome, challenging, exacting, grueling, taxing, toilsome，这几个词基本上都有麻烦、困难和难以承受这一层意思，从这些词的解释来看，不太能体现出“费时间”的意思，再看“花心思”，“花心思”这个词貌似没什么负性含义，而onerous个人感觉是有些负性含义的。所以，既然楼主都已经详细查这个单词了，不妨就直接按词典的解释理解吧~

PS.附一下韦氏和AHD的词义辨析：

韦氏：
onerous, burdensome, oppressive, exacting mean imposing hardship. Onerous stresses being laborious and heavy especially because distasteful<the onerous task of cleaning up the mess>.

AHD:
burdensome, onerous, oppressive, arduous, demanding, rigorous, exacting
These adjectives all apply to what imposes a severe test of bodily or spiritual strength.
Onerous adds to burdensome the connotation of the figuratively heavy load imposed by something irksome or annoying: “Old forms of government finally grow so oppressive that they must be thrown off” (Herbert Spencer).
