| 释义 |
〔implicature〕The aspect of meaning that a speaker conveys, implies, or suggests without directly expressing. Although the utterance"Can you pass the salt?” is literally a request for information about one's ability to pass salt, the understood implicature is a request for salt. 言下之意：此方面意义指的是说话者并非以直接表达的方式传达、意指、或是建议某件事情，虽然"Can you pass the salt?” 字面上指的是询问有关某人是否有能力递盐的讯息，但我们所了解的言下之意却只是对盐的需求 |
