贺拉斯式讽刺(Horatian Satire),
Horatian satire is gentle, urbane, smiling; it aims to correct by gentle and broadly sympathetic laughter;
A literary manner which blends a critical attitude with humor and wit to the end that human institutions or humanity may be improved. Satire is fundamentally of two types, named for their most distinguished classical practitioners: Horatian satire is gentle, urbane, smiling; it aims to correct by gentle and broadly sympathetic laughter; Juvenalian satire is biting, bitter, angry; it points with contempt and moral indignation to the corruption and evil of men and institutions. Addison is a Horatian satirist, Swift a Juvenalian one.
