【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。
