英文释义
名词 n.
-
A person who habitually criticizes the grammar and (often) usage in others' speech or writing, often in ways that are sometimes not even linguistically accurate.
— He had to explain that the grammar Nazi's tantrum was mistaken because interposing an adverb to fall between the components of a to-infinitive is usually not wrong in English grammar.
词源
First use appears c. 1991. From grammar + Nazi (“one who imposes one's views on others; one who is considered unfairly oppressive or needlessly strict”).
