单词 | 咬文嚼字 |
释义 | 〔circumstance〕Use of the idiomunder the circumstances is justified by both logic and reputable precedent,and objections to it must be accounted at best overfussy if not also,as H.W. Fowler put it, "puerile.”习语under the circumstances 的使用, 由逻辑和规范的先例两者来证明为正确,否则对于此点的反对至少会被看作过于咬文嚼字,正如福勒所评价的“幼稚”〔bookish〕Literary and formal in tone. Used of words.咬文嚼字的:文学而正式的口气。用于文字〔verbalist〕One who favors words over ideas or substance.咬文嚼字者:爱用言辞多于思想或实质的人 |
