"gaud"是英语中一个较为古旧的词汇,指代华而不实、廉价或俗丽的装饰品或小玩意儿,常含贬义。该词源自古法语"gaudir"(意为炫耀)及拉丁语"gaudēre"(意为喜悦),最初在14世纪用于描述宗教仪式中繁复的装饰物。
在文学语境中,莎士比亚曾于《十四行诗》第54首使用该词:"O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem / By that sweet ornament which truth doth give! / The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem / For that sweet odour which doth in it live. / The canker blooms have full as deep a dye / As the perfumed tincture of the roses, / Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly / When summer's breath their masked buds discloses: / But, for their virtue only is their show, / They live unwoo'd, and unrespected fade; / Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so: / Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: / And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth, / When that shall vade, my verse distills your truth." 此处暗喻虚有其表的事物。
现代英语中,"gaudy"作为形容词更为常见,而"gaud"多保留在文学或历史文献中,例如维多利亚时期描述过度装饰的圣诞饰品时,常称其为"Christmas gauds"。词义演变体现了社会对物质主义批判的延续性,这一语言学现象在《牛津英语词源词典》中有详细考据。
