动词 v.

英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To speak for in an incorrect and erroneous manner
    — Law is but the voice; government itself only the body; civilization is the essence, the spirit—the spirit of ages of progress and conquest from rude nature and ruder men—a spirit sometimes, alas! misvoiced; sometimes misembodied.
  2. To say with the wrong tone.
    — Ackroyd's solicitude for Eliot here seems to me punctilious and, though not misplaced, misvoiced: 'For a man who was peculiarly attentive to the manners and to the formal courtesies of "society", the behaviour of a deranged wife would inevitably lead to anxiety and a sense of shame not far from panic.'
