释义 | 〔authority〕A quotation or citation from such a source:引证:从权威意见中的引用语:〔masterful〕According to a widely repeated dictum,masterful should be reserved for the sense "imperious, domineering,” as ina masterful tone of voice, whereasmasterly should be the choice when the intended sense is "having the skill of a master,” as ina masterly performance of the sonata. The distinction is a nicety that some writers will want to continue to observe.But the use ofmasterful in the latter sense has long been common in reputable writing and cannot be regarded as incorrect.根据广为强调的权威意见,masterful 应限于“支配的、专横的”的含义。 例如,一种专横傲慢的语调, 而如果想指“具备精通者的技艺”,则应该选用masterly 。 例如,一场奏鸣曲的精湛演出 。 一些作家会继续遵守这个细微区别。但在后一种含义上使用masterful 在一些享有声望的作品中也一直常见, 因此不能被看作是不准确的 |
