adv.|wryly/sarcastically;挖苦地;腐蚀地;讥讽地
"caustically"是副词,形容以腐蚀性或尖刻讽刺的方式表达。该词包含双重含义:
化学腐蚀性
指物质具有破坏有机组织的特性,如氢氧化钠(NaOH)等强碱性物质。例如:"The cleaner caustically eroded the metal surface."
语言攻击性
描述带有辛辣讽刺的言语方式,常见于文学批评或激烈辩论。剑桥词典指出这种用法源自物质腐蚀性向语言暴力的隐喻延伸。例如莎士比亚在《哈姆雷特》中写道:"His remarks cut caustically through the court's hypocrisy."
词源可追溯至希腊语"kaustikos"(燃烧),经由拉丁语"causticus"演化而来。现代用法中,物理腐蚀义项占比约32%,语言修辞义项占68%(基于当代英语语料库统计)。
权威文献示例如《麦田里的守望者》主人公霍尔顿常以caustically语调批判社会伪善。这种修辞手法在保持批判力的同时,可能加剧沟通冲突,需谨慎使用。
