evasion
★
🇺🇸 /ɪvˈeɪʒʌn/
指为了躲开问题、指责、责任或追问而采取的回避行为，常含有故意绕开、不正面回答的意味。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一个人被追问时不断绕圈子：从躲开追捕，延伸到躲开问题、指控和责任；evasion的核心就是“有意避开正面接触”。
📝 学习建议
- 不要只把它理解成普通的“逃跑”；现代英语中它常指对问题、指控或责任的回避，尤其是故意不正面回答。
- 先掌握“回避问题、回避责任”这一抽象用法，再理解它在叙述躲避或周旋时的延伸意义。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 回避；搪塞📖 指为了躲开追问、指控、责任或争论压力，故意不直接回应或采取迂回办法。它把“避开接触”的画面从躲避追捕扩展到了语言和立场上的回避，常带有不坦率或不合作的意味。💡 常用“evasion of the question”或“evasion of responsibility”这样的结构，表示回避问题或责任；“an evasion”则强调一次具体的含糊回答或躲闪行为。这个词通常用于正式或批评性表达，不能把每一次礼貌地暂不回答都称为它。若要说人或回答“闪烁其词的”，应使用相关形容词，而不是把名词直接当形容词用。countable uncountableThe reporter saw his refusal to answer as an evasion of the question.记者认为他拒绝回答是在回避问题。Her repeated evasions made the committee suspect that she was hiding something.她一再闪躲回避，使委员会怀疑她在隐瞒什么。
