"savage" in Chinese (Traditional)

野蠻的兇狠的殘酷的

Definition

Savage 通常表示非常暴力、殘忍或失去控制。它也可以形容某事非常嚴厲或強烈;在非正式用法中,還可表示說話很狠、很直接,或表現得特別強勢。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

在嚴肅語境中通常帶負面意義,如 'a savage attack'、'savage violence'。在現代非正式英語裡,尤其在網路上,'savage' 也可以帶一點稱讚或幽默,表示回擊很狠、很敢說:'That comeback was savage.' 但用作名詞指人時,可能顯得冒犯或過時。
