farce的用法详解
farce这个英语单词出自拉丁文“farcire”(填充),指的是让人笑的滑稽表演或搞笑的幽默构思,在口语中又指令人发笑的事情,更普遍的一种用法是指体育比赛中,落后者有意製造出趣味,而不是真正参与比赛的表演,这也称作做farce。
farce在英语中也是动词,表示“死板地模仿,做出滑稽的动作”,如:He farced his way through the exam.他拖着死气慢慢地完成考试(表示缺乏积极性和投入)。
另外,farce也可以指某种被认为是没有实质意义的事情,如:This whole process is a farce.整个过程真是太可笑了(表示没有实质意义)。
