喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Not polite or friendly — but in a specific way. "Ungracious" is what you are when someone has been kind to you, or when good manners clearly call for warmth, and you fail to give it. Winning a game and refusing to shake the loser's hand is ungracious. Being given a gift and saying nothing. Being congratulated and answering . Losing an election and complaining instead of accepting. That is why the word is so often paired with winners and losers, hosts and guests, thanks and apologies — situations where a small warmth was owed. It is milder than "rude." A rude person attacks; an ungracious person simply withholds. That withholding is what people notice. The tone is somewhat formal, and it often appears in the phrase "it would be ungracious of me to…" — a polite way of saying "I should not complain, so I won't." You will also see "gracious" on its own for the opposite: warm, generous, in exactly this way.

    不客氣的、不領情的、失禮的（尤指該表現風度或感謝時卻冷淡）
