回複：嗬嗬，我也可能理解錯了，Aloof(adv.) At a distance but within view; apart.

讀了你給的link, 那裏給了這個詞的出處，和做副詞的例句，讓我更加以為我先前的感覺沒錯。

 

 

Adv.

1.

aloof - in an aloof manner; "the local gentry and professional classes had held aloof for the school had accepted their sons readily enough."

adv aloof [əˈluːf] apart or at a distance from other people I kept aloof from the whole business.

 

aloof - Comes from sailing, in which ships keep clear of coastal rocks by holding the vessel "luff"—"to the windward"; so, to hold "a-luff" means to "keep clear."

• 應該用 at/from a distance 比較安全，不會讓讀者感到困惑。 -sportwoman- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2012 postreply 13:03:35
