audacious

🇺🇸 /ɑdˈeɪʃʌs/
adj 编号: A02723 BNC #19357 COCA #16335
形容人、行为或计划大胆冒险,也可指无礼放肆;褒贬取决于具体语境。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一个人大胆跨过边界:跨进未知领域,是敢冒风险、富有魄力;跨过礼貌和分寸的边界,就变成无礼放肆。两个意思都围绕“越过通常界限”展开。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握“大胆冒险”这一核心意思,再记住它也可能带有“放肆无礼”的负面评价。不要把它一律理解成褒义的“勇敢”。
📖 中文释义
adj
  • core 大胆冒险的
    📖 指明知风险很大,仍敢于尝试通常没人敢做的事;重点是行动越过了常规界限,既可能显得有魄力,也可能显得鲁莽。
    💡 常用“an audacious + 名词”或“an audacious attempt/plan”表示大胆的计划、尝试或行动。它强调风险和突破常规,不只是普通的“勇敢”;根据上下文,可以是赞美,也可以暗示不计后果。不要把它只用于形容人的性格,具体行动和计划同样常见。
    It was an audacious plan to cross the desert with only one truck.
    只用一辆卡车穿越沙漠是个大胆冒险的计划。
    She made an audacious attempt to negotiate peace between the two groups.
    她大胆尝试在这两个团体之间促成和平谈判。
  • common 无礼放肆的
    📖 指一个人或其行为大胆越过了礼貌和应有分寸,表现得冒犯、嚣张或不知收敛。
    💡 常用“an audacious + 名词”修饰无礼的提问、要求或举动,也可用来形容人。这个意思通常带明显贬义,尤其适合描述对权威、长辈或陌生人的冒犯行为。不要把这里的大胆误解为值得称赞的勇气,判断依据是他是否越过了社交分寸。
