Incongruity is the fact that something is strange, unusual, or unsuitable in a particular situation — it does not fit. A clown at a funeral would be an incongruity; a plastic chair in a palace might be one too. People also use it of ideas that do not sit well together. It is a fairly formal noun. Though actually, it is not the same as a mistake, and it is not the same as someone saying one thing and doing another. An incongruity can even be funny on purpose, as in comedy, when two things that do not belong are put side by side so you notice the .
不協調；格格不入
組成From Middle French incongruité, from Medieval Latin incongruitās, from Latin incongruus (not in agreement; not fitting).
