"to satirize with opposites" - seems like a clumsy definition, not sure what it's supposed to mean.

examples:

〈廣陵散〉是一曲失傳的音樂,在嵇康被處決時,同時絕世。對行刑那天,余秋雨如此形容:「這中國文化史上最黑暗的日子之一,居然有太陽。」(頁三三五)反諷的色調,竟然由陽光來襯托,可謂十分入骨。
At its conclusion, the essay makes vivid use of "Guang Linsan," a mysterious and moving musical score then known only to Ji Kang. When Ji Kang was executed, "Guang Linsan" would die with him.

廖清碧還點出一個反諷現象。不少外遇男人在離婚前和太太吵得不可開交,不僅不回家、不付錢,
Liao Ching-pi notes a supreme irony: Many a man who has an affair fights bitterly with his wife prior to divorce, refusing to come home or provide financial support.

2009年,蘇育賢的〈Under the Black Sky〉則是對全球太空競賽進行反諷。
Under the Black Sky from 2009 mocks the development and competitive nature of the space race.


verb:
由於內容嬉笑怒罵、反諷時事,自去年底開始演出,至今接近三百集,成為超視被社會討論最多的節目。
