cautionary

cautionary

Cautionary是英語中的形容詞,音標為英[ˈkɔːʃənəri]/美[ˈkɔːʃəneri],核心含義為"警告的,勸誡的"。該詞通過添加後綴"-ary"由名詞caution派生而來,詞根源自拉丁語"cautio"(防備措施)。柯林斯詞典將其定義為"旨在向人們發出警告的敘述或注釋",常見於警示性故事、安全標識及法律文本等多種語境。

該詞具有多領域套用特徵:在文學中構成"Cautionary Tale"(警世寓言),交通安全領域使用"cautionary signal"(警告信號),法律術語包含"cautionary obligation"(保證債務)等。劍橋詞典強調其"intended to warn or advise"的核心功能,典型例句如政府告誡信息、企業案例警示等均體現其預警特性。近義詞涵蓋admonitory、preventive,反義詞包括persuasive等,多用於托福、雅思等英語考試的學術文本。

作為形容詞,cautionary在英語演變中逐漸專用於表達抽象警戒概念,現代用法主要保留"警告性"與"預防性"雙重語義特徵,古義"擔保的"僅存於特定語境。該詞通過短語搭配延伸語義功能,如"cautionary note"常用於學術論述,"cautionary measures"多出現於行政文書。
