flamboyant

flamboyant

基本释义

[adjective] (of a person or their behavior) tending to attract attention because of their exuberance, confidence, and stylishness
[形容词] （指人或其行为）因热情、自信和时尚而容易引起注意的

深入解读

Flamboyant 是一个很容易让人联想起小站之前推送过的 buoyant 的单词。该词源自古法语 flambe （火焰、爱的火焰），1832年经法语 flamboyant （火焰似的、波浪形的）进入英语，最初用来表示建筑“火焰式的”，其特色是火焰式曲线窗格及华丽装饰。

进而泛指外形、颜色等“火焰似的、火红色的、艳丽的、灿烂的”，尤指服装等因为色彩鲜艳、图案鲜明或风格不同寻常而引人注目，比如：

• 那个病人的衣着在如此严肃的场合显得太艳丽了。
  The invalid’s clothes were rather flamboyant for such a serious occasion.

等到了1879年， flamboyant 从艳丽夺目这个概念出发，进一步引申指“炫耀的、卖弄的、浮夸的、浮华的”，主要指在言辞、行为、外表、性格等方面因花哨、时尚、热情、自信、大胆（audacious）等而引人注目，常意味着行为或者表现有着惊人的精致或趣味，比如：

• 评论家暗地里抨击她大肆挥霍、恣意张扬的作风。
  Critics attacked her lavish spending and flamboyant style in a covert way.
• 他处事严谨，与他爱张扬的妻子形成了鲜明的对比。
  He was a man of austere habits, in stark contrast to his more flamboyant wife.
