单词 | 批评者 |
释义 | 〔Baldwin〕American writer and outspoken critic of racism whose works includeGo Tell It on the Mountain (1953), a novel, and Notes of a Native Son (1955), a collection of essays. 鲍德温,詹姆斯·亚瑟:(1924-1987) 美国作家和种族主义的坦率批评者,其作品包括小说《向苍天呼吁》 (1953年)和散文集 《天赋之子的札记》 (1955年) 〔irregardless〕The labelNon-Standard does only approximate justice to the status of irregardless. More precisely,it is a form that many people mistakenly believe to be a correct usage in formal stylebut that in fact has no legitimate antecedents in either standard or nonstandard varieties. (The word was likely coined from a blend ofirrespective and regardless. ) Perhaps this is why critics have sometimes insisted that there is "no such word" asirregardless, a charge they would not think of leveling at a bona fide nonstandard word such asain't, which has an ancient genealogy.给irregardless 贴上 Non-Standard 的标签只是对其地位做了近似恰当的评价。 更精确地说,许多人错误地相信它是正式语体中的规范用法,但实际上无论在标准或非标准变体中都没有这个词真正的前身。(该词可能是把irrespective 和 regardless 合在一起生造出来的。) 也许这就是为什么批评者们有时坚持认为“没有irregardless 这么个词”的原因, 他们不会把这项指责安在一个象ain't 这样一个正牌的非标准用词上, 因为这个词的家史渊源流长〔whale〕The poet whaled away at the critics.诗人对批评者们进行了猛烈的攻击〔cohort〕Perhaps because of its original military meaning,cohort usually implies a somewhat negative judgment. A phrase such asthe President and his cohorts might therefore be better used by critics of the President than by defenders. 也许由于它原来的军事意义,cohort 通常表示某些否定的看法。 因此,例如总统和他的一帮人 也许会更好地由总统的批评者而不是支持者使用 〔lash〕lashed out at her critics during the interview.在采访过程中对她的批评者们进行严厉攻击 |
