"extravagantly" 是副词,源自形容词"extravagant",具有三层核心含义:
一、奢侈浪费地 指超出合理范围地挥霍金钱或资源,常用于描述铺张浪费的行为。牛津词典将其定义为"spending a lot more money or using a lot more of sth than you can afford or than is necessary"(来源:牛津词典)。例如:"She decorated her mansion extravagantly with gold leaf and crystal chandeliers."
二、过度夸张地 表示言行超出常规限度,带有戏剧性夸张的意味。剑桥词典解释为"to a degree that is excessive or unreasonable"(来源:剑桥词典)。如:"The actor gestured extravagantly during the monologue, drawing criticism for overacting."
三、丰富华丽地 在文学语境中可表示繁复华丽的艺术表现形式。柯林斯词典指出该词可形容"very elaborate or showy, sometimes to the point of being gaudy"(来源:柯林斯词典)。例如:"Baroque architecture is characterized by extravagantly ornamented facades."
该词的词源可追溯至拉丁语"extravagari"(意为"偏离常规"),14世纪通过法语进入英语词汇体系,最初具有"超出合理范围"的贬义,18世纪后逐渐衍生出中性描述艺术风格的用法。
