| 释义 | 〔bald〕Undisguised; blunt:不加掩饰的；率直的：〔funky〕When asked which words in the English language are the most difficult to define precisely,a lexicographer would surely mentionfunky. The meaning offunky seems well captured by Geneva Smitherman in Talkin and Testifyin: The Language of Black America, where she states that funky means “[related to] the blue notes or blue mood created in jazz, blues, and soul music generally, down-to-earth soulfully expressed sounds; by extension [related to] the real nitty-gritty or fundamental essence of life, soul to the max.”Be that as it may,funky is first recorded in 1784 in a reference to musty, old, moldy cheese. Funky then developed the sense "smelling strong or bad,” which could be used to describe body odor.Butfunky was applied to jazz, too—a usage explained in 1959 by one F. Newton inJazz Scene : "Critics are on the search for something a little more like the old, original, passion-laden blues: the trade-name which has been suggested for it is ‘funky’(literally: ‘smelly,’ i.e. symbolizing the return from the upper atmosphere to the physical, down-to-earth reality).” Funky comes from the earlier nounfunk, which meant "a strong smell or stink.” This noun can probably be traced back to the Latin wordfūmus, "smoke.” 当被问及英语中最难准确定义的是哪些词时，词典编纂者肯定会提到funky 这个词。 Funky 的含义似乎被热纳瓦·史密斯曼在 语言和证明： 美国黑人语言一节中解释得很清楚，她认为 funky 指“主要在爵士乐、布鲁斯歌曲、灵乐这些发自灵魂深处的音乐中创造出的音符式的忧郁； 由此延伸为与生命本质精髓有关的，表现美国黑人及其文化特点到极致的。”Funky 最早可能被记录于1784年，用于指发霉的、过期的奶酪。 后来，funky 引申到这层意思“闻起来强烈或有异味的，” 可以用来形容身体的气味。但funky 也用于指爵士乐方面， 这种用法于1959年在一位名叫F·牛顿的人的书爵士舞台 中有所解释： “批评家们正在找一种有些更象原始的、激情洋溢的老布鲁斯歌曲一样的东西：用来表现后的词就是‘有气息的’（字面意义：‘有气味的，’也就是说，从高高在上的格调降回到自然而率直的风格）。” Funky 一词来自较早出现的名词funk， 意为“一种刺鼻的气味或臭味”。 这个词可能可追溯到拉丁词fumus， “烟” 〔ingenuous〕Openly straightforward or frank; candid.See Synonyms at naive 率直的，坦白的：公开地直言或坦率的；直率的 参见 naive〔strong〕Forceful and pointed; emphatic:有力的：有力的和率直的；着重强调的：〔euphemism〕The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive:委婉，委婉的说法：用一个适度的、不直接的、含糊的词来取代一个令人感到粗鲁的、过于率直、具有冒犯性的词：〔buttonhole〕"He was also frequently buttonholed by White House lobbyists . . . who seemed to be permanently assigned to shadow the burly Democrat"(Terence Moran)“他不断地被白宫的说客留住谈话…这些人似乎总是受指使而使这位率直的民主党人不快”(特伦斯·莫兰)〔frank〕Open and sincere in expression; straightforward.坦率的，真诚的：坦率而真诚的表达的；率直的〔blunt〕Abrupt and often disconcertingly frank in speech:直言的：说话率直的，不转弯抹角的：〔naive〕"this naive simple creature, with his straightforward and friendly eyes so eager to believe appearances" (Arnold Bennett).“这个天真的小家伙，友善率直的眼睛如此轻易相信表面现象” （阿诺德·贝内特）。〔straightforward〕In a direct course or an honest manner.直率地：采取一种率直或坦诚的方式地 |
