outside the pale的用法详解
“Outside the pale” 这个短语源于中世纪欧洲的政治和社会制度,它的本意是指一个区域的边缘地带,而这个区域通常是受到限制的。在英语中,这个短语常用来描述一些观点、行为和言论超出了普遍接受的范围或是道德行为规范,因此这个说法也逐渐演化成了一个贬义词汇,意为“超出公认行为准则,不合适或者不得体”。
举个例子,我们可以说:
- His behavior at the party was completely outside the pale.
- The politician's controversial remarks were considered outside the pale of acceptable political discourse.
- The company's latest product marketing strategy was widely criticized as being outside the pale of ethical business practices.
总之,“outside the pale”这个词汇经常用来表示令人反感、不适宜或不当的行为或言论,因此,在正式场合或是社交场合体现自己的观点和行为时需要遵守基本的道德规范,以免被认为是在超出公认的行为或言论准则。
