单词 | 苛评 |
释义 | 〔censorious〕Tending to censure; highly critical.吹毛求疵的:好挑剔的;苛评的〔critique〕Critique has been used as a verb meaning "to review or discuss critically" since the 18th century, but lately this usage has gained much wider currency,in part because the verbcriticize, once neutral between praise and censure, is now mainly used in a negative sense. (One is not likely to say, for example,She criticized the bill approvingly. ) But this use ofcritique is still regarded by many as pretentious jargon; 69 percent of the Usage Panel rejects the sentence Critique 这一词自从18世纪以来作为动词的意思是“批判性地评论或讨论”, 然而近来这一用法变得更为通用,部分由于动词criticize 这一原先介于赞扬和苛评之间的词现主要用于否定意义中。 (人们不太可能说,比如她赞成地批判这个法案。 ) 但是critique 的这一用法仍被许多人认为是做作难懂的话; 用法专题使用小组69%的成员否认这种句子 〔criticize〕"No man can justly censure or condemn another,because indeed no man truly knows another" (Thomas Browne).“没有人能够公正地苛评或谴责他人,因为事实上没有人能够真正地了解他人” (托马斯·布朗)。 |
