摘　　要：历时语义变化是语义学和词汇学共同关注的核心议题,而作为语义变化重要组成部分的感情色彩变化在国内却一直未能引起足够重视。相对语义转贬而言,有关语义改良的专项研究更为罕见。从英语、汉语、希伯来语的词例入手,详细例证了语义改良不仅存在于语义层面的缩窄、扩大和迁移过程,而且也能共存于语用层面的典故误用。Diachronic semantic change has long been a core issue in the studies of semantics and lexicology. Despite an impor- tant component in semantic change, diachronic variation in emotional meaning does not attract as sufficient attention as it deserves. This is especially true to semantic amelioration. With many elaborated examples provided in English, Chinese and Hebrew, the present article seeks to prove that amelioration is not only compatible with semantic narrowing, expansion, and shift, but also can be found in allusion＇ s oraematic misuse.
