A scathing remark cuts. It criticizes someone or something very hard, with no softness — often clever, often meant to sting. A review can be scathing; so can a comment from a teacher, a parent, or a newspaper. It is a fairly strong, slightly formal word. You would not call a mild that's not great scathing. The feeling is of burning or stripping the skin, though we use it for words, not for fire.
尖酸刻薄的；痛批的
