| 释义 | angle Angle, "the viewpoint from which something is considered," is described by Copperud 1970, 1980 as "mildly criticized" and "under a faint shadow that is fast disappearing." Since many of the books that criticize this sense of angle are school or college handbooks, it may be used more often in student papers than instructors like. The Merriam-Webster files do not show evidence of the overuse asserted in the handbooks; attitude, point of view, position—the words Guth 1985 calls angle an overused synonym for—are used with considerably more frequency than angle. Angle appears most frequently in reviews. Here are some examples: • A solidly good, offbeat Bicentennial book idea that cries out for a wider angle and a richer sense of the American cartoonists' diversity —Albert H. Johnston, Publishers Weekly, 21 Oct. 1975 • It is a special angle of vision granted to certain writers who already write good English —William Zinsser, N.Y. Times Mag., 2 Dec. 1979 • Roughly speaking, there are three main angles from which a novel can be criticized —Times Literary Supp., 25 July 1968 • And the angle of vision here is very different — Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Saturday Rev., 2 Sept. 1978 • ... a travel article, like any good article, must have an angle or approach, a peg or slant, that will make it interesting to the audience —John J. Chalmers, The Writer, July 1968 The verb angle, in the past participle, is used in a similar sense: • It was all on paper, all of it, angled from Matthew Brennan's point of view —Irving Wallace, The Plot, 1967 • Admirers of Churchill may well be angered or saddened or both by this harsh but freshly angled and trenchant portrait —Albert A. Johnston, Publishers Weekly, 11 Mar. 1974 • An analysis of the headlines taken from all the papers in any country, on the same day, will show that many are angled politically —David Kimball, The Machinery of Self-Government, 1953 |
