sarcastic / ironic 两个词的区别。我要是说，“不要老说反话”可以用这两个词说嘛？谢谢大家
回答：sarcastic可用于形容人或事。“不要老说反话”就是“Stop being sarcastic”。其他句例：1. He was being sarcastic but I wonder if it might not be worthwhile.2. What can the consequences of being sarcastic to your boss at work possibly be?  ironic多用于形容事件、文章等，故不适用！句例：1.  It is ironic that Einstein, who was such a revolutionary young man, was reduced to irrational denial of quantum mechanics in his later years. 2.  What I find ironic is that most of the meat produced in the Amazon region goes to Europe!
