“Preposterously”是一個副詞,用于描述某種行為或情況“極其荒謬、違反常理或邏輯”。它源自拉丁語“praeposterus”,由“prae”(前)和“posterus”(後)組成,字面意義是“前後颠倒”,引申為“不合邏輯的極端狀态”。例如:“The company’s decision to invest preposterously in a failing market shocked everyone.”(公司在一個衰敗市場中荒謬至極的投資決策令所有人震驚。)
該詞常用于強調對理性或常識的背離,如描述離譜的主張(“preposterously false claims”)、不合理的價格(“preposterously high costs”)等。在文學和學術讨論中,它可批判缺乏依據的觀點或行為,例如:“His theory was preposterously unsupported by evidence.”(他的理論荒謬到毫無證據支持。)
同義詞包括“absurdly”“ridiculously”,反義詞則為“reasonably”“sensibly”。語言學家指出,該詞通過誇張表達強化否定态度,適用于正式與非正式語境。
