释义 | 〔fulsome〕The wordfulsome is often used, particularly in the expressionfulsome praise, to mean simply "abundant,” without any implication of excess or insincerity.This usage is etymologically justifiedbut may invite misunderstandings in contexts in which a deprecatory interpretation might also be available.The sentenceI offer you my most fulsome apologies may unintentionally raise an eyebrow, where the use of an adjective likefull or abundant would leave no room for doubt as to the sincerity of the speaker's intentions.单词fulsome 经常使用, 尤其在表达溢美之辞 时, 只表“丰富”而没有“过分或虚伪”的意思。根据词源学判断此用法是有道理的,但却会在一些场合得到贬义的解释而引起误会。如我对你抱歉到家了 ,这句话会无意中使对方皱起眉头, 若是此处用full 或 abundant 之类的形容词, 就不会使听者对于说话者诚挚道歉的意图产生怀疑了 |
