"humble" 是英语中兼具形容词和动词词性的多义词,其核心含义围绕"谦逊"与"卑微"展开。根据牛津词典的解释,作形容词时主要指"不炫耀的,虚心的",描述对自身成就保持低调的态度。剑桥词典进一步指出,该词可引申为"地位低下的",如形容出身卑微的社会阶层。
在动词用法中,humble 表示"使谦卑"的行为过程。柯林斯词典强调该词常以被动语态出现,如"被现实挫败锐气",这种用法常见于文学作品和日常口语。词源学显示,humble 源自拉丁语 humilis(低矮的),与"humus"(土地)同源,暗示着贴近地面的谦卑姿态。
该词的深层文化内涵体现在英语谚语"humble pie"中,原指中世纪仆人食用的动物内脏馅饼,现演化为"忍辱含垢"的隐喻表达。心理学研究显示,适度的humble态度能增强团队协作效率,该结论被《人格与社会心理学杂志》收录。在宗教语境中,《圣经》箴言16:19使用该词警示骄傲的危害:"谦卑与敬畏雅威的赏赐,是财富、尊荣和生命"。
