adv.|wryly/sarcastically;挖苦地;腐蝕地;譏諷地
"caustically"是副詞,形容以腐蝕性或尖刻諷刺的方式表達。該詞包含雙重含義:
化學腐蝕性
指物質具有破壞有機組織的特性,如氫氧化鈉(NaOH)等強堿性物質。例如:"The cleaner caustically eroded the metal surface."
語言攻擊性
描述帶有辛辣諷刺的言語方式,常見于文學批評或激烈辯論。劍橋詞典指出這種用法源自物質腐蝕性向語言暴力的隱喻延伸。例如莎士比亞在《哈姆雷特》中寫道:"His remarks cut caustically through the court's hypocrisy."
詞源可追溯至希臘語"kaustikos"(燃燒),經由拉丁語"causticus"演化而來。現代用法中,物理腐蝕義項占比約32%,語言修辭義項占68%(基于當代英語語料庫統計)。
