「学科英语小课堂」What is connotation?

Connotation is the use of a word to suggest a different association than its literal meaning, which is known as denotation.

For example, blue is a color, but it is also a word used to describe a feeling of sadness, as in: “She's feeling blue.”

Connotations can be either positive, negative, or neutral.

内涵意义是隐含于或附加在概念意义上的意义。社会、群体或者个人都可以使一个词具有内涵意义，有时还是很不相同的内涵意义。

这种差异既可存在于两种语言、两种文化之间，也可以存在于一种语言和一种文化的亚文化之间。如英语中的goose有“愚蠢”的内涵意义，但汉语中的“鹅”却没有这种不好的内涵意义。
