📝 学习建议
- 不要只把它理解成一般的“有趣”或“好笑”;它通常强调某事荒谬、愚蠢或不切实际,因而显得可笑。
- 学习时先掌握“荒谬得可笑”这一核心意思,再根据语境理解其中较强的批评意味。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 荒谬得可笑📖 形容某件事明显不合情理、愚蠢或不切实际,荒谬到让人觉得可笑;重点是“荒谬”导致“可笑”,而不只是单纯有趣。💡 常用“ludicrous claim/idea/plan/attempt”或“something is ludicrous”的结构。它多用于较正式的批评或评论,语气通常比“可笑”更尖锐。不要把它当作中性的“滑稽”或“有幽默感”;如果只想说令人发笑而没有荒谬意味,应换用较弱的词。The proposal to finish the bridge in one week was ludicrous.一周内建完这座桥的提议荒谬得可笑。She made a ludicrous attempt to explain away the missing money.她试图为那笔不见的钱找借口,做法荒谬得可笑。
