💡 深入解读

Oblique 是一个与小站两个月前推送的小词详解 | opaque有些形似的单词,源自拉丁语obliquus(斜的、斜着眼看的、间接的),15世纪初进入英语时原指“斜的、倾斜的”,

He gave her miniature roses an oblique glance.比如:

Through the pristine window came the last few oblique rays of evening sunshine.他斜了她的小玫瑰花一眼。

最后几束余晖透过崭新的窗户斜射进来。这在数学领域还可以用来表示“斜角的”,即用于形容不是直角整数倍的角,比如斜角(oblique angle)、斜三角形(oblique triangle)等。不过现在 oblique 更多的是用来引申指“间接的、不直截了当的、拐弯抹角的”,强调说话不直率或公开并使之理解起来比较费力,

比如:

隐约提及;间接途径;婉转的评论

an oblique reference/approach/comment

指桑骂槐

make oblique accusations

She made several oblique references to the current fiscal situation.她好几次拐弯抹角地提及目前的财政状况。

an oblique method to peddle vicious gossip若是再贬义一些,还可以指“不光明正大的、躲躲闪闪的”,比如:一种用来散布恶意谣言的阴险方法
