深入解读
小站之前推过 小词详解 | dissident ,今天再来讲讲与之相关的 dissent 。
Dissent 源自拉丁语 dissentire (情绪不同、意见不同、意见不合、矛盾、争吵),主要作动词表示“不同意、持异议”,强调不同意多数人或官方的意见,比如:
- 没有人反对统一的决定。
No one dissents from the decision to unify.
到了16世纪50年代开始用于宗教领域,指“对国教、正教或其教义表示不顺从”,比如马丁·路德不服从罗马教会(Martin Luther dissented from the Church of Rome)而推动宗教改革。
在随后的16世纪80年代, dissent 开始用作名词,即“关于宗教教义或宗教信仰的意见分歧”,现指“不顺从国教或正教”。
再后来, dissent 进一步泛化为“意见的分歧、不一致”,比如:
- 我做了个表示不同意的手势。
I made a gesture of dissent. - 一致通过了这项决议案
approved the resolution without dissent
用在法律领域, dissent 指的是“合议庭法官对多数法官作出的判决所提出的异议或不同意见”。而用在体育领域, 则表示“不服裁判”,即在足球和橄榄球等运动中不服裁判的违规行为, 比如:
