"matter-of-fact"是一個英語複合形容詞,主要表示兩種含義:
實事求是的态度 指不帶感情色彩、基于事實的陳述方式,常用于描述直接而客觀的表達風格。例如醫生在告知診斷結果時使用"Her tone was matter-of-fact when explaining the test results"(來源:劍橋詞典)。
平淡無奇的事物 表示缺乏想象力或趣味性的普通事物,如"The report was a matter-of-fact listing of statistical data"(來源:牛津詞典)。
該短語起源于17世紀法律術語,最初指無需證明的既定事實(來源:Merriam-Webster)。在語言學應用中,它與"as a matter of fact"(事實上)存在區别——後者強調糾正誤解,而前者特指陳述方式。
典型應用場景包括:
同義詞包含"unemotional"和"straightforward",反義詞則為"emotional"或"dramatic"(來源:柯林斯詞典)。在當代英語中,該表達常見于商務溝通和科技文獻,體現專業表述的嚴謹性。
