从海报中可以看出《神偷奶爸3》的英文片名叫其实叫despicable me,直译为《卑鄙的我》,一起来学习一下这个词的用法:
despicable 形容词“卑劣的,卑鄙的;应受鄙视的”
despicable这个词的原形来自“despise” ,这是一个及物动词(vt.),表示“鄙视,看不起”;前缀de表示“低下”后缀spise表示“看”
所以串在一起,就是“看得低下,看不起。
同义词contemptible ,那么despicable contemptible 的区别是什么?
这些形容词表示卑鄙的、不道德的、受到强烈指责的。
despicable指一无是处的作为;
contemptible指那些令人瞧不起的道德和行为,也可广泛地被用于对任何事情的评价。
