📖 基本释义

[adjective] loud and harsh
[形容词] 响亮刺耳的


💡 深入解读

Strident 一词源自拉丁语stridere(发出口齿不清的声音、发出刺耳的声音、尖叫),17世纪50年代进入英语后开始作形容词表示“尖声的、刺耳的”,多用来形容人的嗓音持续响亮刺耳不和谐,令耳朵特别痛苦,

比如:

There was a tinge of smug self-satisfaction in her voice. She tried to laugh, and the sound was harsh and strident.她的言语中流露出一丝自鸣得意。她想笑,但声音听起来尖锐刺耳。

She was increasingly seen as a strident feminist since she exhibited her oratorical prowess in a furious debate.如果一个人说话声音总是既响亮又刺耳,难免给人一种强势逼人的感觉。那么从这个概念进一步引申,则可以用 strident 表示“强硬的、咄咄逼人的”或者说“坚定的”,多指以一种过分和令人不快的方式提出观点,尤其是有争议的观点,并常带有令人不可抗拒、违背他人意愿或者强迫引起注意之意,比如:自从她在一场激烈的辩论中展现出了杰出的口才后,她愈加被视为强硬的女权主义者。

This strident newspaper article teems with blunders.报纸上这篇措词强硬的文章错误百出。

The old man burst into a shout of strident and mournful laughter, coughing and laughing at the same time.此外,在语音学上, strident 还可以用作名词表示“发音粗糙的辅音”,如 [ʒ] 、 [z] 等,同 sibilant (咝音、咝擦音)。双语名著
