"clown" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 小丑

Definition

clown 指一種表演者，通常穿著滑稽的衣服、化著誇張的妝，用搞笑或出人意料的動作逗人發笑。它也可以非正式地指行為愚蠢或惹人煩的人。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

指馬戲團或兒童活動裡的表演者時通常是中性的；但形容普通人時常常帶貶義，如 'Don't be a clown.' 常見搭配有 'birthday clown'、'circus clown' 和 'clown makeup'。它和 'joker' 不完全一樣，'joker' 更常指愛開玩笑的人。
