莫名 (mò míng)
from Chinese Word of the Day | 每日一词 · host Gallant Guo
特师的每日一词,2026年2月7日的词汇是:莫 mò 名 míng释义 Definition「莫名」的意思是形容一种说不清原因、无法解释的感觉或状态。莫名 (mò míng) means describing a feeling or state that is unclear in reason and cannot be explained.例句 Example《凤凰周刊》中,有篇文章是这样用这个词的:「有一次我躲在车间外面看坂本龙一的《我还能看见几次月亮升起》,被班长看见了。反而是在那之后,他莫名对我态度变好了一点,可能是出于对所谓大学生的一种尊重,觉得你看书是在做正事。」这里说的是班长态度变化的原因不太清楚。In Phoenix Weekly, there is an article that uses this word like this: 'Once I was hiding outside the workshop watching Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'How Many Times Will I See the Moon Rise,' and the foreman saw me. But after that, he 莫名 became a bit nicer to me, perhaps out of a kind of respect for so-called college students, thinking that reading a book is doing proper work.' Here it says the reason for the foreman's attitude change is not very clear.你知道吗? Did You Know?「莫名」常和「其妙」连用成「莫名其妙」,强调事情奇怪到无法描述。比如「他莫名其妙生气了」比单独用「莫名」更强调不解。这个词来自古汉语,『莫』表否定,『名』指称说,本义是「无法命名」。类似词有「无缘无故」,但「莫名」更侧重主观的困惑感。莫名 (mò míng) is often used together with 其妙 (qí miào) to form 莫名其妙 (mò míng qí miào), emphasizing that something is so strange it's indescribable. For example, 'he 莫名其妙 got angry' emphasizes the puzzlement more than using 莫名 (mò míng) alone. This word comes from classical Chinese, where 莫 (mò) expresses negation, and 名 (míng) means to name or state, with the original meaning being 'unable to be named.' A similar word is 无缘无故 (wú yuán wú gù), but 莫名 (mò míng) focuses more on a subjective feeling of confusion.
