| 词组 | dastard |
| 释义 | dastard Dastard is a fairly rare word. It first meant a dullard, and then a coward. By the time Fowler 1926 was complaining about its being misused, the sense of "coward" was slipping into the past and the word, when used, generally meant some sort of underhanded or treacherous villain: • ... a girl who took the wrong turning when some dastard, responsible for her condition, had worked his own sweet will on her —James Joyce, Ulysses, 1922 • Sherlock Holmes would have dismissed Mike Hammer as a dastard and a cad —Hal Boyle, Springfield (Mass.) Union, 29 June 1954 • Bounty hunters are usually dastards in Westerns — Current Biography, October 1966 |
