| 释义 | insightful This relatively new adjective (first recorded in 1907) has lately become something of a minor irritant to a few usage commentators, who have described it variously as "journalese" (Zinsser 1976), "a suspicious overstatement for 'perceptive'" (Strunk & White 1979), and "jargon" (Janis 1984). Dictionaries, on the other hand, routinely treat it as an ordinary, inoffensive word. Its use is common and has been for several decades. Here is a representative sampling of the ways in which it is used: • ... Royko is as insightful as he is humorous —Dan Walker, Saturday Rev., 24 Apr. 1971 • ... as readable as it is insightful —William Manchester, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 12 Sept. 1976 • As a diarist, Coward could be insightful about himself —Mel Gussow, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 28 Nov. 1976 • ... this insightful reinterpretation of recent American abstraction —Barbara Rose, Vogue, October 1976 • ... is also very insightful about Burton's acting — Wall Street Jour., 18 Dec. 1981 |
