| 词组 | so-called |
| 释义 | so-called 跟 what is called，what we call 或 what is known as 不同。例如： That so-called masterpiece is really an ordinary school composition. （那个所谓杰作［实际不配叫做“杰作”］实际是一篇寻常的学校作文。） What is called（或 What we call，或 What is known as）a school composition is a short essay on a given subject. （所谓学校作文是论述一个特定题目的一篇短文。） 比较下面两句： He is a so-called humorist. （他是一个不配叫做幽默家的幽默家。） He is what is called（或 what we call，或 what is known as）a humorist. （他是一个人们所说的幽默家。） 在决不会引起误解的场合有人把 so-called 用作 what is called 等解。例如：A so-called rhetorical question is a question asked not to be answered but merely for effect. 但总不及用 what is called 等妥当。 |
