Michelle Kaplan: 大家好!今天我们来聊聊“audacity”这个词。这个词既可以表示积极的含义,也可以表示消极的含义,所以理解起来有些复杂。我个人觉得,这个词更多的时候是偏向负面的,表示某人做的事情让人震惊,有点“胆大妄为”的感觉。但是,在某些语境下,它也可以表示赞赏,比如形容某人非常有勇气和自信。总之,要根据具体语境来判断它的含义。 Aubrey Carter: 我也觉得“audacity”这个词很tricky。它既可以表示积极的“大胆”、“有魄力”,也可以表示消极的“傲慢”、“无礼”。关键是要看说话人的语气和上下文。如果有人说“I admire her audacity”,那肯定是正面的。但如果说“I can't believe she has the audacity to do that”,那很可能就是负面的。所以,使用这个词的时候一定要小心,以免引起误会。另外,我们还讨论了一些和“audacity”意思相近的词,比如“gall”、“nerve”、“fearless”等等。希望通过今天的节目,大家能更准确地理解和使用“audacity”这个词。
