Criticize for Meaning in English
expression
释义
To say what you think is wrong or bad about someone or something for a specific reason or action.
用法与细微差别
Often followed by a specific reason (noun or gerund): 'criticize for being late', 'criticize for mistakes'. More formal/neutral; informal alternatives include 'call out'. Not the same as 'complain about', which means expressing unhappiness, not giving negative judgment. The preposition 'for' is required.
