短釋義:
To be irreverent doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t like something; it’s just that you don’t display the same honor for it that other people do. You might have a more light-hearted approach, poking fun of the way other people seem to almost blindly show their devotion. For example, when people at the Louvre are standing in hushed awe in front of the “Mona Lisa” it would be irreverent to holler “What’s so great about that?”
如果你不敬,你就沒有表現(xiàn)出對(duì)某事的尊重,比如你用滑稽的聲音不敬地唱著你學(xué)校的母校。

For example, when people at the Louvre are standing in hushed awe in front of the “Mona Lisa” it would be irreverent to holler “What’s so great about that?”
不敬并不一定意味著你不喜歡某事;只是你沒有表現(xiàn)出與其他人一樣的榮譽(yù)。你可能會(huì)有更輕松的方法,取笑其他人似乎幾乎是盲目地表達(dá)他們的忠誠(chéng)的方式。例如,當(dāng)盧浮宮的人們靜靜地站在《蒙娜麗莎》前敬畏時(shí),大喊“這有什么了不起的?”是不敬的。
