"boast"是一個多義詞,其核心含義可分為以下兩方面:
自誇行為 指通過語言或行動過度強調個人成就、能力或優勢,常帶有負面色彩。例如:"He couldn't resist boasting about his promotion at the party"(他在聚會上忍不住炫耀自己的晉升)。這種用法最早可追溯至13世紀古法語詞彙"boster",原意為"大聲喧嘩",後演變為誇大陳述的特定含義(《牛津英語詞源詞典》)。
值得自豪的擁有 在客觀陳述語境中,表示真實具備值得稱贊的特征或資源。例如:"The museum boasts a collection of Renaissance masterpieces"(該博物館擁有文藝複興時期的傑作館藏)。此中性義項常見于學術文獻及權威媒體報道,如《經濟學人》在描述城市發展時曾使用"The city boasts the highest literacy rate in the region"(該城市擁有本地區最高識字率)。
詞性轉換方面,該詞兼具及物動詞(如"boast that...")、不及物動詞(如"boast about...")和名詞形态(如"empty boasts")。根據劍橋語料庫統計,名詞用法在正式文本中出現頻率較口語場景低37%。
