英语例句 (1) We chide the citizen because he makes love a commodity.
中文例句 (1) 我们责备庸俗的市民,那是因为他把爱变成了商品。
vocabulary简明 To chide someone is to ride them or get on their case, without really getting in their face.
vocabulary扩展 People have been nagging since well before the 12th century, when the word chide came along as a new way to say "complain" or "rail." If you want to remind someone of a flaw they have or an error they keep repeating, you might chide them with sarcasm, humor, or some seriousness. Where a sharp elbow in the ribs lets you know "Stop it, right now!," a chide is more like a gentle elbow in the belly, saying "Come on, you're late; did you forget your watch again?"
