词组 so-called
释义 so-called
      Several commentators find fault with using quotation marks to enclose a term or terms following so-called, as in "you and your so-called 'friends.'" Their advice is to omit either the quotation marks or the so-called: "you and your so-called friends" or "you and your 'friends.'" Our evidence shows that in edited writing quotation marks are in fact more often than not omitted after so-called:
      In so-called real life ... —John Bainbridge, Gourmet, November 1982
      The so-called gender gap ... —Nancy J. Walker, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 11 Mar. 1984
      These so-called Watergate Babies ... —Tip O'Neill with William Novak, Man of the House, 1987
      But their use is not at all rare:
      ... the so-called "cold war liberals" ... —Alden Whitman, Saturday Rev., 18 Mar. 1978
      ... their so-called "news value" ... —Orville Schell, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 11 May 1983
      ... the so-called "Fifth Generation" of computers ... —Paul Delany, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 18 Mar. 1984
      The use of quotation marks following so-called is not an error, but they are just as easily and sensibly omitted.
