blatant
含义: Done openly and unashamedly; completely lacking in subtlety or attempt at concealment.
Blatant implies not only that something is obvious but that the person responsible makes no effort to hide their wrongdoing, offence, or incompetence. It carries a strong tone of disapproval — a blatant lie, a blatant foul, a blatant disregard for the rules. The word is widely used in journalism, sports commentary, and political debate to express indignation at brazen behaviour. It is sometimes confused with 'flagrant,' which is close in meaning but emphasises the shocking or outrageous nature of the act. It collocates with 'disregard,' 'lie,' 'breach,' 'foul,' and 'attempt.'
