词性：adj.  
音标： [nɪˈferiəs]  
释义： 极坏的，恶毒的，不道德的

Describe a person’s actions as _nefarious_ if they are evil or wicked. Batman and Superman are always fighting evildoers and stopping their _nefarious_ plots.

_Nefarious_ comes from the Latin _nefas_ “crime, impiety.” If something is nefarious, it is criminal, evil, malicious and wicked. Thinking of superheroes can help you remember the meaning of the word, but it is often used in much less exciting circumstances. News reporters investigate corrupt politicians in order to uncover the nefarious activities. And, if you don’t pay for your downloaded music, you have gotten it by nefarious means.

“Evil Dave’s Grill. The name of this grill isn’t a nod to anyone _nefarious_ ; it’s a cheeky reference to the wicked dishes on its dinner-only menu.” — Claudia Laroye, _The Toronto Star_ , 1 Apr. 2022
