"extravagantly" 是副詞,源自形容詞"extravagant",具有三層核心含義:
一、奢侈浪費地 指超出合理範圍地揮霍金錢或資源,常用于描述鋪張浪費的行為。牛津詞典将其定義為"spending a lot more money or using a lot more of sth than you can afford or than is necessary"(來源:牛津詞典)。例如:"She decorated her mansion extravagantly with gold leaf and crystal chandeliers."
二、過度誇張地 表示言行超出常規限度,帶有戲劇性誇張的意味。劍橋詞典解釋為"to a degree that is excessive or unreasonable"(來源:劍橋詞典)。如:"The actor gestured extravagantly during the monologue, drawing criticism for overacting."
三、豐富華麗地 在文學語境中可表示繁複華麗的藝術表現形式。柯林斯詞典指出該詞可形容"very elaborate or showy, sometimes to the point of being gaudy"(來源:柯林斯詞典)。例如:"Baroque architecture is characterized by extravagantly ornamented facades."
該詞的詞源可追溯至拉丁語"extravagari"(意為"偏離常規"),14世紀通過法語進入英語詞彙體系,最初具有"超出合理範圍"的貶義,18世紀後逐漸衍生出中性描述藝術風格的用法。
