📖 基本释义

[noun] a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound
[名词] 意义、表情或声音上的细微差别或不同


💡 深入解读

从词源上来看, nuance 一词源自拉丁语nubes(云、雾、蒸气),最早于1781年由法语nuance(颜色深浅浓淡的程度;细微差别)进入英语,后者的第二义项取云朵在颜色上的细微变化之意而来。那么英语中的 nuance 相应主要也是用来表示意义、表情、感情、颜色、声音、外貌等方面的“细微差别”,多指一种细微到几乎无法察觉的差异,并侧重强调差异之中的微妙性

He gazed at her face intently to catch every nuance of expression.他认真地注视着她的脸,捕捉每一丝细微的表情变化。

This slightest nuance of change in monetary policy has turned out to be an abject failure. Now we need a more supple monetary policy.结果已经证明这项货币政策上的微调彻底失败了。现在我们需要一个更加灵活的货币政策。

a sense of the nuances of plain words从这个概念出发, nuance 还被用来引申指“微妙的色彩”以及“微妙之处”。比如:对普通词语精妙涵义的辨别力

Life is not black and white; there is some gray nuance to it.此外, nuance 也可以作动词使用,相应表示“精确细腻地表达或表演”以及“细致入微地描绘”。名人名言
