词组 | sic |
释义 | sic Sic, usually enclosed in brackets, is a word editors use in the reproduction of someone else's speech or writing to indicate that an unexpected form exactly reproduces the original and is not a copier's mistake. In the three typical uses here, sic is used to show a word spoken with an extra syllable, an unusual spelling, and a misspelling. • "I'm a conservationalist [sic]," she replies —Judy Klemesrud, N.Y. Times, 1 Dec. 1974 • ... the Phénix [sic] Society —Albert H. Johnston, Publishers Weekly, 6 Feb. 1978 • ... we beleive [sic] it to be worth the risk —The Tower Commission Report, 1987 Several commentators remind us that it is bad manners to use a [sic] to needlessly call attention to someone's error or to deride the language of a less educated person. |
