【适用场合】
今天我们学习一下这样一个表达 uncalled for。
在英文中你既可以在这俩词中间加一个连字符,变成uncalled-for,这种加连字符的一般放名词前面作定语;当然,你也可以这俩词儿直接分开用。
当作形容词,表达的意思是:“本不应该这么去做、这么去说的,因为这样的行为、话语不友好、不公平、不合适、没必要等等”;
If you describe a remark or criticism as uncalled for, you mean that it should not have been made, because it was unkind, unfair or not required.
eg: Sir, I appreciate that you are frustrated, but such rude remarks are completely uncalled for.
先生,我明白,您很不高兴,但是说这些粗鲁的话属实不应该。
eg: There's no need to make personal remarks - that was quite uncalled for.
没必要发表私人言论,那真的是完全没必要。
eg: His comments were uncalled for.

eg: Don't you think sending the entire SWAT team to the situation is a bit uncalled for?
