Plaudit
“Plaudit”是名词,指热烈的鼓掌、喝彩或公开赞扬,通常来自观众、评审或公众。多用于正式或文学语境,带有庄重感。常以复数形式”plaudits”出现。
- “The actor received loud plaudits from the audience after the performance.” (演出结束后,演员获得了观众热烈的掌声。)
- “Her novel earned plaudits from critics across the country.” (她的小说赢得了全国评论家的赞誉。)
- “The team’s victory was met with plaudits in the sports press.” (球队的胜利得到了体育媒体的广泛赞扬。)
“Plaudit”直接源自拉丁语”plaudite”(鼓掌吧!),是动词”plaudere”(鼓掌、拍手)的祈使式复数形式。古罗马戏剧结束时,演员常向观众说”plaudite”请求喝彩。
“Plaudit”没有前缀和后缀,是直接从拉丁语借入的单词。
在古罗马剧场文化中,观众的掌声(plaudite)是评判演出成败的重要标准。这一传统延续至今,奥斯卡颁奖典礼、百老汇首演等场合的掌声与喝彩,都可称为”plaudits”。该词在新闻和评论文体中尤为常见。
- 固定搭配: “receive plaudits” (获得喝彩), “win plaudits” (赢得赞扬), “loud plaudits” (热烈掌声)
“Plaudit”听起来像”鼓掌的”(applaud)——观众鼓掌喝彩,就是”plaudit”。
“When the pianist finished the final chord, the hall erupted in plaudits that lasted for three minutes.” (钢琴家弹完最后一个和弦时,全场爆发出持续三分钟的喝彩。)
