- 1指責的；帶有指控意味的
An accusatory remark, letter, silence, or look already treats you as guilty. Nobody has to say “You did it”; the face or the words do that work. It is a slightly formal adjective — news and books like it (“an accusatory tone”). In everyday talk, people more often say accusing for a look. Though actually, an accusatory manner is still only a manner: it shows what the speaker thinks, not what has been proved.
