| 词组 | exposé |
| 释义 | exposé Exposé has been used in English since the early 19th century. Of its various applications in current English, the most common is in describing a journalistic work in which something disreputable is revealed: • ... an angry, often emotional exposé —Joyce Milton, Saturday Rev., June 1980 • ... a hard-hitting, arresting exposé of the horrific conditions of America's penal institutions —Mel Watkins, N Y. Times Book Rev., 11 Dec. 1983 • ... the thousandth exposé of life under Communism —William F. Buckley, Jr., N.Y. Times Book Rev., 8 July 1984 As Copperud 1980 notes, exposé has occasionally been criticized as a needless synonym for exposition or exposure, but its connotations and uses are in general distinct from those of the longer words. You should feel no hesitation about using it. Exposé can be written either with or without an acute accent: • ... an exposé of female oppression —Daniel Selig-man, Fortune, 29 Dec. 1980 • ... this particular expose is a bit of a revelation — Walter McVitty, Nation Rev. (Melbourne), 15 May 1975 Both forms are widely used. The accented form is the more common of the two, perhaps because it clearly indicates how the word is pronounced, \\\\,ek-spo-'zā\\\\. |
