  • Functions as a noun meaning 'a scream' or 'shriek'.

Overview

  1. 1概述:“尖叫”是一个在日常生活中非常常见的词汇。虽然它在现代汉语中经常作为动词使用(如“他在尖叫”),但在语法结构中,它也频繁作为名词出现,指代那种特定的声音。这种声音的特点是音调极高(尖)且音量大(叫)。

常见语境:在恐怖电影中,受害者往往会发出“恐惧的尖叫”;在偶像演唱会上,粉丝们会发出“兴奋的尖叫”;在发生意外事故时,现场可能会传来“痛苦的尖叫”。它涵盖了从极度负面到极度正面的强烈情绪表达。

  1. 1词义辨析:“尖叫”与“喊叫”不同。“喊叫”通常是为了让人听见或传达信息,音调不一定很高;而“尖叫”侧重于声音的特质(尖锐、刺耳)和情绪的爆发。与“呼喊”相比,“尖叫”更具本能性,往往不包含具体的语言文字内容,只是一种纯粹的声响。

How to Use It

使用说明

In Chinese, '尖叫' is neutral in register and can be used in both formal writing and casual conversation. While it is technically a verb-object construction (尖 + 叫), it is most frequently treated as a single noun or verb unit. In formal literature, it is often used to create atmosphere.


常见错误

English speakers often use '尖叫' to describe any loud talking, but it must be a high-pitched sound. Another mistake is forgetting the measure word '声' when using it as a noun in a sentence like 'I heard a scream'.

Tips

💡

Using measure words with screams

Always pair '尖叫' with '声' (shēng) when counting individual screams in a narrative context.

⚠️

Don't confuse with loud speaking

Do not use '尖叫' to mean speaking loudly; use '大声说' instead. '尖叫' is a non-verbal sound.

🌍

Screaming in Chinese pop culture

In modern internet slang, '尖叫' is often used to describe fan-girling/fan-boying over celebrities.

词源

The character '尖' (jiān) means sharp or pointed, and '叫' (jiào) means to cry out or call. Combined, they literally describe a 'pointed (high-frequency) cry'.

文化背景

In Chinese social media, '尖叫' is frequently used in the context of 'fan culture' (饭圈文化) to describe the reaction of fans when they see their idols. There is also a famous Chinese beverage brand called 'Scream' (尖叫).

记忆技巧

Look at the character '尖' (jiān). It consists of '小' (small) on top of '大' (big), like a needle point. A '尖' sound is a 'sharp/pointed' sound. '叫' (jiào) is to call. So, '尖叫' is a sharp call.

常见问题

4 个问题

不是的。虽然常用于恐惧,但它也可以表示极度的兴奋(如看到偶像)或强烈的疼痛。

当它前面有量词(如“一声”)或形容词(如“刺耳的”)修饰时,它通常作为名词使用。

“尖叫”强调音调高(尖锐),而“大叫”只强调声音大,不一定音调高。

最常用的量词是“声”,例如“发出一声尖叫”。
