深入解读

Languid 一词与 小词详解 | languish 不仅形似,而且同源,都是出自拉丁语 languere (虚弱、微弱),其基本含义是指“软弱无力的、倦怠的”,比如:

  • 她脸色苍白,倦怠乏力,身体虚弱,好像生了个孩子似的。
    She was pale, languid, and weak, as if she had delivered a child.

不过 languid 现在更多的是形容人“慢悠悠的、慵懒的”,强调动作非常缓慢和随意,甚至带有一丝优雅,比如:

  • 懒洋洋的一挥手
    a languid wave of the hand
  • 徐缓从容的声音
    a languid voice

名人用例

Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
他们若有所思地坐着,转动着疲倦的眼睛。

出自英国诗人约翰·济慈(John Keats,1795年10月31日-1821年2月23日)。他与雪莱、拜伦齐名,被人们推崇为欧洲浪漫主义运动的杰出代表。
