Is irony the same as sarcasm ? How are they different?

From a semantic standpoint, "irony" originally refers to a linguistic phenomenon of "saying the opposite" or "saying what is not referent".

What is Irony? From ancient Greece to Hegel, to romantic literature, to New Criticism, structuralism and postmodernism, there are different interpretations of it; It is both a rhetorical method and an aesthetic and philosophical idea. When it comes to poetry specifically, the basic meaning of irony has the following two aspects:

1) A figure of speech, i.e., "what is said is not what is referred". It creates a difference between surface semantics and deep semantics.

2) the general principle of poetic style, that is, that poetic language is never or should not be a single, transparent system of symbols; The language of any poem, regardless of the "subjective" intention of the writer, is subject to escape due to context.

Satire is a technique and cannot be called literature alone. Methods of satire include explicit irony, insinuation, etc.

It can be oral satire, action satire, or pen and ink satire, it is a kind of literature, and what Lu Xun is good at is satire. Hehe. In fact, sarcasm is to increase the effect of language, to render anger, everything depends on your language skills. Come on, read more books, and you'll feel it.

"Irony" is to be sarcastic by others and then turn back to the topic to sarcastically mock the other party, and sarcasm is to directly satirize the other party.

Sarcasm is face-to-face, such as:

1) A rich man walks up to the poor and says, "Look at you, you're not as clean as my dog."

2) If he takes a fancy to you, the sow will go up the tree.

Anti-irony is the use of what others point to counter, such as:

There is a rich second generation who took his girlfriend to see a very poor friend and said to his girlfriend in person: Look at the same as before. This person's family is still very proud of his money, and he still learns from others, and the rich man invests now, and he doesn't even have a wife. Poor back to the same as your father.

It has become a universally recognized truth that any rich bachelor always wants to marry a wife. --From Pride and Prejudice

The difference between irony and satire is that satire overemphasizes the forcible entry of the poet's subjectivity, and the emergence of hegemonic discourse often destroys the characteristics of the poem itself, while irony is a kind of resistance contained in the poetic text itself, not imposed by the poet. He is the power of wisdom itself, and its power is powerful, sharp, and naturally unpretentious.

1. Jealousy is very strong, and I can't see the good of others.

Irony is a rhetorical device that refers to the use of metaphors, exaggerations, etc. to expose and criticize people or things; Use sarcasm and ridicule to depict hostile backward things.

The word "irony" in Chinese already appears in the Book of Sui written in the Tang Dynasty, and is also mentioned in Gao Xiao's poem "Yellow Horse Disease in the Journey, Sending Monks to Present to Friends" in the "Quantang Poems". Satirization is written in kanji for "wind thorn" or "satir". Famous satirical works in modern China include Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" and "New Story"; Lao She's "Zhao Ziyue", "Two Horses", "Mr. Breeches", "Camel Xiangzi"; Shen Congwen, "Alice's Travels in China"; Qian Zhongshu's "Siege" and so on.

Western satire (wind thorn)** can probably be pushed up to the ancient Roman Empire Greek writer Lugianos (the common translation is from the English transliteration of Lucian or Lucian; Lucian, Lugianos is translated by Zhou Zuoren according to the Greek pronunciation) of the "true story". The author writes in the first person about a group of people traveling to several places such as the moon and Elysium (Zhou Zuoren's translation of "Furen Island"), and the title "True Story" is a great irony.

1.I have low self-esteem in my heart, and I always want to find out where others are inferior to myself.

There are some people who have low self-esteem in their hearts and feel that they are inferior to others in many ways, so they dare not show themselves in public and try to hide themselves.

But there are some people with low self-esteem who don't behave like this, his problem is that I know that I am not good, but others cannot be perfect, his eyes are staring at others, and then quickly find out where others are not as good as staring at themselves, and then make sarcastic and sarcastic remarks. His purpose is, first, to prove that others are not very good, and he also has many problems; The second is to let others know his idea, and to make others feel inferior, don't be so public.

This kind of person will burst out with strong jealousy when facing some people who are slightly stronger than him, so he will start to speak sarcastically.

2.Brush presence.

There are some people who may not be so good because of their personality or ability, but they really want to be noticed by others.

In response to this need in our hearts, the correct way for us ordinary people is to strive to make ourselves better. But he doesn't think so, he thinks it's too slow and too tiring, he just wants to find a suitable opportunity, find a suitable target, sarcastically ridicule it, let everyone's attention focus on him, let everyone see how sharp his words are.

In the eyes of some people, it is a very glamorous thing to be able to speak sarcastically in public, and he only notices that everyone is looking at him, but he does not know that everyone is looking at him and wondering why he is so vitriol.

3.Lack of empathy, compassion.

There are some people who are very cold in heart, and they are extremely lacking in empathy and compassion.

When you are a little unhappy, they can't imagine how sad you are, and they can't imagine if they were in such a situation, whether it would be painful to do the same.

When he sees that you are unhappy, his first reaction is to ridicule you and sarcastically mock you, and he wants to prove that his previous opinion of you is correct, and you are a person who can't do great things; At the same time, he also takes pleasure in hitting others, and makes himself happy by maliciously ridiculing others for unhappy things.

Such a person either has been treated like this since childhood, so he has learned this way of behaving, or his emotional intelligence is simply negative.

In reality, it is indeed ironic.

In general, if a job seeker is simply asking for a lower salary because they are not satisfied with their salary, then this may be a sign of irony. Because in a job, salary should be a relatively reasonable factor, not the only determining factor. If a candidate is not satisfied with their career prospects, work environment, or other factors, they may express their demands by asking for a raise, promotion, or improved work environment.

Although the salary of 8,000 yuan per month may be high for some people, it is not high in first-tier cities, and this situation is likely to be a major change in the city and way of work of the job seeker, and their habits have not been corrected.

Overall, job seekers are genuinely unhappy with their salary expectations, and they should express their claims in a reasonable way.
