A risqué joke, remark, film, or outfit is a little shocking because it is about sex — not shouted and filthy, but close enough to the line that people laugh, look at each other, or feel slightly . You hear it about humour and style more than about a person being “bad.” It feels a little French and a little old-fashioned; in plain talk someone might say “a bit naughty” or “a bit rude,” though those are looser.
because it is about sex因為跟性有關,a risqué joke, remark, film, or outfit一個帶點情色的笑話、話、電影,或穿著 is a little shocking會讓人有點吃驚──not shouted and filthy不是那種大聲又下流的,but close enough to the line而是接近那條線,that people laugh, look at each other, or feel slightly embarrassed讓人笑出來、彼此對看,或有點不好意思。You hear it about humour and style你更常聽到它用在幽默感和風格上, more than about a person being “bad.”而不是用在說一個人「壞」上。It feels a little French and a little old-fashioned它給人的感覺有點法式、有點老派;in plain talk用白話說 someone might say有人可能會說 “a bit naughty” or “a bit rude,”「有點調皮」或「有點沒禮貌」, though不過 those are looser這些說法比較籠統。
Though actually, risqué is not the same as risky. Risky means something could go wrong or you could get hurt. Risqué only means slightly shocking because of sex.
Though actually不過其實,risqué is not the same as risqué跟risky不一樣。Risky means意思是 something could go wrong or you could get hurt有可能出錯,或有可能受傷。Risqué only means只是說 slightly shocking because of sex因為跟性有關而有點讓人吃驚。
The accent on the e is the French spelling; in English you will also see risque without it.
The accent on the ee上面的重音符號 is the French spelling是法文的拼法;in English在英文裡 you will also see risque without it你也會看到沒有重音符號的risque。
組成Borrowed from French risqué, “risky,” the past form of risquer, “to risk,” from the noun risque, “risk.” Further back it is tied to Italian risco (modern rischio). Scholars say it may come from a Latin verb meaning “to cut off,” but that last step is not certain.
