同一條線拿來誇張抱怨
把一個宗教上很重的字搬去講早上四點或一桌吃不完的菜。這是教學上的連結,用來記住這個字的力道從哪來;它不是在說歷史上哪個意思先出現。
adjective · B2
Used in front of a noun to complain that something is extreme and annoying, above all a time of day that is far too early or far too late.
(時間、數量)誇張到不合理的
One way to hold this word: it is a line being drawn, with God on one side and this thing on the other. In religious writing the line is meant seriously — this person, this act, does not belong on God's side, and from there the word slides easily into plain 'wicked'. The complaining use can be thought of as the same line drawn for fun: four in the morning is put outside anything a reasonable world would allow. The heavy word does light work, and the gap between the weight and the subject is the joke.
From Middle English ungodli: un- 'not' plus godli, which goes back to Old English godlīċ, god plus a suffix meaning 'having the character of'.
從中古英文 ungodli 來的,是 un-(不)加上 godli。godli 可以追到古英文的 godlīċ,也就是 god 加上表示「有…樣子」的字尾。所以這個字一開始就是「不像神的」,宗教的意思是它的起點。
