英语词汇“criticize”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

To criticize is to find what's wrong with something, like the improbabilities in a movie's plot line, or double standards in your father's rules.

The verb criticize comes from the noun, critic, and means "to act like a critic." A critic is someone who judges, and that doesn't have to mean negative judgment (think of a glowing movie review from a movie critic), but when we use criticize we always mean finding what's wrong, instead of what's good, with something. If your friend is just learning to bake, don't criticize his first batch of burned cookies too harshly; he'll just give up.
