"Ungracefully"是副词,其核心含义指"动作或行为缺乏优雅、协调或得体的仪态"。该词由否定前缀"un-"加形容词"graceful"构成,字面含义为"不具备优雅特质的",常用来描述肢体动作笨拙、社交举止失当或艺术表现生硬的状态。
从词源学角度分析,"graceful"源自拉丁语"gratia"(恩典、魅力),在14世纪英语中发展为表达优美体态或高尚品格的词汇,而前缀"un-"的否定含义强化了其反义词特性。现代用法中,该词常见于三类场景:
该词的近义词包括awkwardly(笨拙地)、clumsily(笨手笨脚地),反义词则为gracefully(优雅地)、poisedly(得体地)。在语义强度上,ungracefully比clumsily更具主观评价色彩,常隐含对优雅标准的偏离。
