1. 1

    If someone is irreverent, they do not show the respect that most other people show for organisations, customs, beliefs, or important figures. An irreverent comedian makes jokes about things many people treat as serious or sacred. The word often carries a smile: may praise an irreverent film because it feels honest and not stiff. It can still upset people who wanted more respect. Use it for a person, a tone, a joke, or a style — not as a fancy way to say “not important” or “not relevant.”

    不敬的;帶調侃、不把權威當一回事時,也說玩世不恭
