incessantly

Advanced Vocabulary Word British ★★☆☆☆ Uncommon Neutral

Meaning: Without interruption or pause; continuing constantly in a way that is often perceived as tiresome or overwhelming.

不间断地、不停歇地；以一种常被视为令人厌烦或不堪承受的方式持续不断。

Sin interrupción ni pausa; de manera continua que a menudo se percibe como agotadora o abrumadora.

中断も休止もなく絶え間なく続くさま。しばしばうんざりするほど、あるいは圧倒的に感じられる。

중단이나 멈춤 없이; 종종 지겹거나 압도적으로 느껴질 정도로 끊임없이 계속하며.

Incessantly almost always carries a negative or weary connotation — it describes things one wishes would stop. Rain falling incessantly, a phone ringing incessantly, or a child asking questions incessantly all suggest exhaustion or irritation. It is distinct from 'continuously,' which is more neutral. Common in feature journalism, literary prose, and complaint-driven correspondence.

incessantly几乎总是带有负面或疲惫的含义——它描述的是人们希望停止的事物。雨下个不停、电话响个不停、孩子问个不停，都暗示着疲惫或烦躁。它与更为中性的'continuously'不同。常见于专题新闻、文学散文和投诉性书信中。

Incessantly conlleva casi siempre una connotación negativa o de hastío: describe cosas que uno desearía que cesasen. La lluvia que cae incessantly, un teléfono que suena incessantly o un niño que pregunta incessantly sugieren agotamiento o irritación. Se distingue de 'continuously', que es más neutro. Es habitual en reportajes, prosa literaria y correspondencia de reclamaciones.

incessantlyは、ほぼ常に否定的・疲労感を伴うニュアンスを持つ。止んでほしいと思うものを描写する語である。絶え間なく降る雨、鳴りやまない電話、ひっきりなしに質問する子ども——いずれも疲弊や苛立ちを示唆する。より中立的な'continuously'とは異なる。特集記事、文学的散文、苦情文書に多い。

incessantly는 거의 항상 부정적이거나 지친 뉘앙스를 지닌다. 멈추었으면 하는 것들을 묘사한다. 끊임없이 내리는 비, 끊임없이 울리는 전화, 끊임없이 질문하는 아이 등은 모두 피로나 짜증을 시사한다. 보다 중립적인 'continuously'와 구별된다. 특집 기사, 문학 산문, 불만에 찬 서신에서 흔히 쓰인다.
