例與論：

It is difficult to overstate the column’s influence on American culture at midcentury and afterward: in popular parlance, Dear Abby was for decades an affectionate synonym for a trusted, if slightly campy, confidante. 在上世紀中葉及以後，說到這個專欄對美國文化的影響，無論怎麼形容可能都不過分：在流行語中，幾十年里，“親愛的艾比”成了密友的同義詞，這位充滿愛心的朋友值得信賴、雖然或許有點狎昵(錯誤)，但可以分享秘密。

 

1.　狎昵
注音一式　ㄒ｜ㄚˊ　ㄋ｜ˋ
漢語拼音　ｘｉ 　ｎ	注音二式　ｓｈｉ 　ｎ
親密。晉書˙卷八十一˙桓宣傳：「而會稽王道子昏醟尤甚，惟狎昵諂邪，於是國寶讒諛之計稍行於主相之間。」新唐書˙卷一六九˙李藩傳：「仲舒等為俳說廋語相狎昵，藩一見，謝不往。」
