人的舉止:一本正經
核心畫面直接落在人身上,是這個字最常用的一支。
adjective · C1
Speaking and behaving in a very correct, careful way, keeping closely to polite rules, and easily shocked by anything rude or untidy.
一本正經;拘謹
One way to hold prim: everything pulled in and pinned down. A straight back, hands in the lap, a mouth pressed shut, a collar buttoned to the very top — nothing loose, nothing spilling over. The word carries a small amount of teasing with it wherever it goes, because all that holding-in is a shade more than the moment asks for. Point the image at a person and you get their manner; point it at what they are wearing and you get the clothes; turn it into a verb and you get the one small movement of the mouth closing.
