ironically 說反話地;諷刺地;反語地

* 或許也可以譯作「不知是不是要說是造化弄人」、「不知是不是要說是命運捉弄人」、「命運真會作弄人」。

例句:
Ironically, many of the steps he has taken, including the acquisition of Gillette, Jager had attempted. The difference was that Lafley was able to get them executed while Jager did not. One of the primary reasons is that Lafley did a better job selecting and leading people. 不知是不是要說造化弄人,他的許多行動,包括收購吉列,傑格也曾經嘗試。兩人的差別,在於拉夫雷能夠執行它們,傑格卻不然。主要的原因之一,是拉夫雷選人和帶人做得比較好。(摘自《Judgment》(博客來網路書店的中文網頁介紹Amazon.com的英文網頁介紹
反義詞:
unironically 無諷刺意味地
