blatant的用法：

4. It is natural that blatant and flagrant are often confused, since the words overlap in meaning. Both attribute conspicuousness and offensiveness to certain acts. But blatant emphasizes the failure to conceal the act:
混淆单词blatant 和 flagrant 是很自然的， 因为两词有重叠含义，都是指某种行为的引人注意和令人讨厌。但是blatant 强调没有隐藏这种行为：

a blatant appeal to vanity;
无耻的虚荣心的要求；

a blatant attempt to whitewash his country's misdeeds. Flagrant,
掩盖他所在国家的罪行的无耻企图。Flagrant

5. on the other hand, tends to emphasize a serious wrongdoing in the offense itself:
则趋于强调过错本身的严重不道德行为：

flagrant child abuse;
明目张胆地虐待孩子；

a flagrant violation of human rights.
公然违反人权。

6. Certain contexts may admit either word depending on what is meant: a violation of international law might be either blatant or flagrant. But writers who refer to the blatant torturing of animals or the flagrant liberal bias of the media have implied something other than what they presumably intended. In the first case, the writer is probably more troubled by the enormity of the mistreatment of animals than by the failure to conceal it, so that flagrant would have been the better choice. In the second case, by contrast, the writer probably wants to draw attention to a moral failing in the media's unapologetic refusal to hide its bias, rather than to the iniquity of the bias itself, an implication that would have been conveyed more successfully by blatant. Blatant should not be used to mean simply “obvious,” as in the blatant danger of such an approach.
某些语境下两个词都可以用，但意思不同：对国际法律的违反既可能是blatant（公然的） 也可能是 flagrant（无耻的）。 但是提到the blatant torturing of animals（肆无忌惮地虐待动物） 或者 the flagrant liberal bias of the media（媒体公然的、不严谨的偏见） 的作者已经暗示了他们本来意图以外的意思。 在第一种情况下，作者可能对大量虐待动物的行为所困扰而不是为隐藏这种行为的失败而困扰，因此flagrant 应该是更好的选择。 相反地，在第二种情况下，作者可能是要着重指出新闻媒介对其偏见一概否认的这种道德上弱点，而不是针对偏见本身的不公正性，这种含义若由blatant来表达的话会更加正确。 Blatant 不应仅仅表示“明显的”， 就象在the blatant danger of such an approach（这种方法明显的危险性）中。
