adv.|lumpingly/awkwardly;笨拙地,不雅地;沒有風度地
"Ungracefully"是副詞,其核心含義指"動作或行為缺乏優雅、協調或得體的儀态"。該詞由否定前綴"un-"加形容詞"graceful"構成,字面含義為"不具備優雅特質的",常用來描述肢體動作笨拙、社交舉止失當或藝術表現生硬的狀态。
從詞源學角度分析,"graceful"源自拉丁語"gratia"(恩典、魅力),在14世紀英語中發展為表達優美體态或高尚品格的詞彙,而前綴"un-"的否定含義強化了其反義詞特性。現代用法中,該詞常見于三類場景:
該詞的近義詞包括awkwardly(笨拙地)、clumsily(笨手笨腳地),反義詞則為gracefully(優雅地)、poisedly(得體地)。在語義強度上,ungracefully比clumsily更具主觀評價色彩,常隱含對優雅标準的偏離。
