n.|truth/actuality/hecho;事实
"matter-of-fact"是一个英语复合形容词,主要表示两种含义:
实事求是的态度 指不带感情色彩、基于事实的陈述方式,常用于描述直接而客观的表达风格。例如医生在告知诊断结果时使用"Her tone was matter-of-fact when explaining the test results"(来源:剑桥词典)。
平淡无奇的事物 表示缺乏想象力或趣味性的普通事物,如"The report was a matter-of-fact listing of statistical data"(来源:牛津词典)。
该短语起源于17世纪法律术语,最初指无需证明的既定事实(来源:Merriam-Webster)。在语言学应用中,它与"as a matter of fact"(事实上)存在区别——后者强调纠正误解,而前者特指陈述方式。
典型应用场景包括:
同义词包含"unemotional"和"straightforward",反义词则为"emotional"或"dramatic"(来源:柯林斯词典)。在当代英语中,该表达常见于商务沟通和科技文献,体现专业表述的严谨性。
