這個字非常困難，主要是沒有一個固定的中文字詞能跟它搭配，語意晦澀，每每要看語境才能推敲意思；字典的解釋，充滿誤謬，華人英文通的說明天馬行空，讀者很難有正確的觀念，所以，看到這個字都相當困惑，希望以下的例句，能幫助各位了解其意：
1. I see myself not as a cynic but as a realist. 我認為自己不是悲觀者，而是務實者。
2. I'm too much of a cynic to believe that he'll keep his promise. 我的態度很懷疑，不相信他會信守承諾。
3. A cynic might say that the government has only taken this measure because it is concerned about its declining popularity. 愛酸的人或許會說政府採取這項措施只是關心它日趨下滑的聲望。
4. Don't be such a cynic! 別這麼不信任人。
5. A cynic might say this is political posturing. 愛嘲諷人家的人或許會說這是政治作態。
