extemporaneous
意味: Spoken or performed without preparation; composed, delivered, or carried out on the spot, often with impressive fluency despite the lack of rehearsal.
Extemporaneous is a formal, somewhat literary synonym for 'impromptu,' most commonly applied to speeches and performances. In rhetoric, extemporaneous speaking is a specific discipline in which the speaker prepares a general outline but does not script the delivery word for word — it thus sits between a fully prepared address and a purely off-the-cuff remark. The shorter form 'extempore' is also used, especially in British English. It collocates with 'extemporaneous speech,' 'extemporaneous remarks,' 'extemporaneous performance,' and 'extemporaneous delivery.'
