"gaud"是英語中一個較為古舊的詞彙,指代華而不實、廉價或俗麗的裝飾品或小玩意兒,常含貶義。該詞源自古法語"gaudir"(意為炫耀)及拉丁語"gaudēre"(意為喜悅),最初在14世紀用于描述宗教儀式中繁複的裝飾物。
在文學語境中,莎士比亞曾于《十四行詩》第54首使用該詞:"O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem / By that sweet ornament which truth doth give! / The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem / For that sweet odour which doth in it live. / The canker blooms have full as deep a dye / As the perfumed tincture of the roses, / Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly / When summer's breath their masked buds discloses: / But, for their virtue only is their show, / They live unwoo'd, and unrespected fade; / Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so: / Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: / And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth, / When that shall vade, my verse distills your truth." 此處暗喻虛有其表的事物。
現代英語中,"gaudy"作為形容詞更為常見,而"gaud"多保留在文學或曆史文獻中,例如維多利亞時期描述過度裝飾的聖誕飾品時,常稱其為"Christmas gauds"。詞義演變體現了社會對物質主義批判的延續性,這一語言學現象在《牛津英語詞源詞典》中有詳細考據。
單詞gaud 的詳細解釋如下:
核心含義
Gaud 指廉價、花哨且俗氣的裝飾品或儀式,常用于描述缺乏實際價值但外觀浮誇的事物。例如:
She wore a necklace full of gauds.(她戴了一條綴滿俗氣飾物的項鍊。)
