v.挑剔⁶⁰;吹毛求疵⁴⁰名词nitpicker过去分词nitpicked现在分词nitpicking三单nitpicks
挑剔
Verb:
be overly critical; criticize minor details这是个口语用词，由nit和pick二词复合而成，nit指虱等的卵或幼虫，pick意为“找”或“找出”。毛发、羽毛或衣服上长了虱于是很难将它们的卵或幼虫完全清除掉的。幼虱体小，要找到它们非仔细而耐心地检查不可。英语有个口头用语pick nits，本义是“找出幼虱”，后来多表示“找茬儿”，“挑剔”或“吹毛求疵”，nitpick也可以说是由这个动词词组的两个成分对换位置构成的复合动词，因此被赋予相同的词义。例如我们常说：“Don’t nitpick.”不要吹毛求疵。从nitpick派生的nitpicker则表示“吹毛求疵的人”或“爱挑剔的人”。nit 一词在古英语就已存在，一千多年来词义一直没有变化，而nitpick则可能到19世纪末或20世纪中期才逐渐通用起来。组合词nit幼虫+ pick → 挑小虫 ⇒挑剔组合词：nit幼虫+ pick → 挑小虫 ⇒挑剔近义词 carp鲤鱼cavil挑毛病quibble争论complain抱怨criticize批评take apart拆卸pick holes 在 … 中找岔子…
