  When the goal is simply to be as faithful as possible to the material—as if a movie were a marriage, and a rights contract the vow—the best result is a skillful abridgment, one that hits all the important marks without losing anything egregious.

(18 January 2014, p. R4)]”，出自 The Daily Telegraph (Review)‎^[2]:

用法说明[编辑]

负面词义在16世纪末叶出现，可能是为了讽刺。在那之前指正面的“出类拔萃”，“杰出”。Webster亦给出了古旧词义“杰出的”，并注解说现代词义常带负面色彩（比如“an eregious error”），常前接于表述性名词，如ass、blunderer、rascal和rogue。意大利语和西班牙语同源词egregio以及葡萄牙語 egrégio仍保留且仅限于褒义。
