基本英英词源例句Thesaurus例句
n.酸葡萄
Noun:
disparagement of something that is unattainable《伊索寓言》中，有一篇脍炙人口的故事《狐狸和葡萄》。话说饥饿的狐狸看见一串串晶莹欲滴的葡萄挂满了枝头。它想尝尝，偏偏就是够不着。最后只好走开，并且自己安慰自己说：“反正那些葡萄都没成熟，还是酸的。”
这个故事是警惕人们不要“吃不到葡萄就说葡萄酸”， 所以后来就产生“酸葡萄心理”（sour grapes)这个词汇。用作名词Sour grapes are made into raisins or wine.酸葡萄就做成葡萄干或葡萄酒。
Her remarks were a typical case ofsour grapes.她说的话是典型的酸葡萄心理。noun.affected scorn
