frivolously 是一个副词,用于描述行为或态度缺乏严肃性、目的性,常带有“轻浮地”“轻率地”或“无意义地”的含义。其核心含义可拆解为以下三方面:
行为层面的随意性
指因缺乏责任感或深思熟虑而采取行动。例如在法律语境中,“frivolously filing a lawsuit”表示“轻率地提起诉讼”,暗含滥用司法资源的行为(来源:Cambridge Dictionary)。
态度上的不庄重
常用于批评对重要事务的轻视态度。例如《社会心理学杂志》指出,该词可描述“对他人情感的漠视”(如“He joked frivolously about the crisis”)。
物质或时间的浪费
强调资源的不必要消耗,如“She spent money frivolously on designer clothes”(她挥霍金钱购买名牌服装),这一用法在《柯林斯高阶英语词典》中被列为典型例句。
词源与演变:
源自拉丁语“frivolus”(意为“琐碎的”),16世纪进入英语后,逐渐从“无足轻重”衍生出现代含义。牛津大学出版社的词源研究显示,其贬义色彩在19世纪因法律文书的使用而强化。
