意味

Blatant; undisguised; frank. Showing feelings or intentions openly without any attempt to conceal them.

A na-adjective and noun describing behaviour or expression that is unconcealed and plainly visible. Often carries a negative nuance — implying that the openness is inappropriate or uncomfortable: 露骨な嫌がらせ (blatant harassment), 露骨に嫌な顔をする (make an obviously displeased face). Can also mean sexually explicit: 露骨な表現 (explicit expression). Less negative in some contexts where frankness is valued.

例文

1. 彼は露骨に不満そうな顔をした。
2. 露骨な差別発言に会場が凍りついた。
3. そんなに露骨に態度を変えなくてもいいのに。
