基本释义
[verb] scold or rebuke
[动词] 责骂或指责
深入解读
Chide 一词比较简单好记,除了比熟词 hide 前面多了个字母 c 外,同时也与小站(微信公众号:田间小站)推送过的 tide, abide, glide, subside 等有着相同的结尾,可以一并联想记忆。
从词源上看,该词源自古英语 cidan (争辩、争吵、抱怨),12世纪末起开始用来表示“责备、责怪、责骂”,先是用作不及物动词,指愤怒或生气地大声斥责,比如:
- 老是唠唠叨叨责骂不休
be always scolding and chiding
现在则多用作及物动词,并常用搭配 chide sb for (doing) sth 作正式用语使用,侧重指因人做错事而以轻微温和或建设性的方式责备或责骂,以示不快、失望或反对,比如:
- 她责怪丈夫对孩子太过宽容。
She chided her husband for being far too lenient with the children.
图书例句
She held her hand interposed between the furnace-heat and her eyes, and seemed absorbed in her occupation; desisting from it only to chide the servant for covering her with sparks, or to push away a dog, now and then, that snoozled its nose over-forwardly into her face.
她用手遮挡着火炉的热气,使它不伤她的眼睛,仿佛很专心地读着。只有在骂佣人不该把火星弄到她身上来,或者不时推开一只总是用鼻子向她脸上凑近的狗的时候才停止阅读。
出自英国女作家艾米莉·勃朗特(Emily Brontë)的长篇小说《呼啸山庄》(Wuthering Heights)。
外刊例句

据说,不喜欢被关注的奥尔特加曾在私下不无责备地敦促他人去赞赏他的公司而不是他本人。毫无疑问,如今公司取得的数字定会令他感到欣慰。
