facetious

facetious

facetious 是英語中的形容詞,意為“詼諧的”“愛開玩笑的”,尤其指在不恰當場合使用幽默或玩笑,隱含貶義,常用於批評不合時宜的輕浮態度。其詞義兼具幽默與輕率雙重特徵,需結合語境判斷情感色彩,如例句“Stop being facetious; this is serious.”即強調對嚴肅情境中不當玩笑的否定。

該詞常見搭配包括“facetious remarks”(玩笑言論)、“facetious advice”(戲謔建議)等,多用於非正式對話。其副詞形式為“facetiously”,名詞形式為“facetiousness”,近義詞包括“humorous”“comic”,但更強調“不合時宜”的隱含語義。

facetious 源自拉丁語“facetus”(意為優雅或機智),16世紀進入英語後逐漸發展出當代語義,從強調機智演變為側重輕浮調侃的負面含義。
