深入解读
Acclaim 是一个与小站(微信公众号:田间小站)去年推送的 clamor 同词根 claim, clam (喊叫)的单词。
该词由前缀 ac- (朝、向、去)+词根 claim 构成,经拉丁语 acclamare (大声喊叫)进入英语后,最早于1626年开始用来表示“称赞”或“向……欢呼、为……喝彩”,主要指热情公开地赞扬或表示赞同,并常含有一致同意的意味,比如:
- 向英雄们欢呼
acclaim the heroes - 受到普遍/高度/广泛/众口赞扬的首映式
a universally/highly/widely/publicly acclaimed premiere - 该作品被誉为杰作。
The work was acclaimed as a masterpiece.
进而 acclaim 也被用来表示以欢呼声“宣布、拥立、推选”,比如:
- 拥立某人为国王
acclaim sb king - 他们欢呼拥戴他为总统。
They acclaimed him (as) president.
值得注意的是,这在加拿大政治中还可以指“一致选举或推举”,对于被选举人来说也就是无人反对的入选。
用作名词时, acclaim 相应表示“欢呼(声)、喝彩(声)”以及“称赞、欢迎”,比如:
- 阵阵欢呼声
roars of acclaim - 评论界的赞扬
critical acclaim - 受到大学生的普遍欢迎
gain wide acclaim from college students - 赢得全国上下的赞扬
win nationwide acclaim
