venal    音标拼音: [v'inəl]
a. 可收买的,贪污的,为金钱而做的

可收买的,贪污的,为金钱而做的

venal
adj 1: capable of being corrupted; "corruptible judges";
"dishonest politicians"; "a purchasable senator"; "a
venal police officer" [synonym: {corruptible}, {bribable},
{dishonest}, {purchasable}, {venal}]

Venal \Ve"nal\ (v[=e]"nal), a. [L. vena a vein.]
Of or pertaining to veins; venous; as, venal blood. [R.]
[1913 Webster]


Venal \Ve"nal\, a. [L. venalis, from venus sale; akin to Gr.
'w^nos price, Skr. vasna: cf. F. v['e]nal.]
Capable of being bought or obtained for money or other
valuable consideration; made matter of trade or barter; held
for sale; salable; mercenary; purchasable; hireling; as,
venal services. " Paid court to venal beauties." --Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]

The venal cry and prepared vote of a passive senate.
--Burke.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Mercenary; hireling; vendible.

Usage: {Venal}, {Mercenary}. One is mercenary who is either
actually a hireling (as, mercenary soldiers, a
mercenary judge, etc.), or is governed by a sordid
love of gain; hence, we speak of mercenary motives, a
mercenary marriage, etc. Venal goes further, and
supposes either an actual purchase, or a readiness to
be purchased, which places a person or thing wholly in
the power of the purchaser; as, a venal press. Brissot
played ingeniously on the latter word in his
celebrated saying, " My pen is venal that it may not
be mercenary," meaning that he wrote books, and sold
them to the publishers, in order to avoid the
necessity of being the hireling of any political
party.
[1913 Webster]

Thus needy wits a vile revenue made,
And verse became a mercenary trade. --Dryden.
[1913 Webster]

This verse be thine, my friend, nor thou refuse
This, from no venal or ungrateful muse. --Pope.
[1913 Webster]
