基本释义
[noun] patient self-control; restraint and tolerance
[名词] 耐心的自我控制;克制和容忍
深入解读
Forbearance 由 forbear (克制、自制、忍住) + ance (状态、性质)构成,16世纪70年代出现时用于法律领域,表示“债务清偿期的延展”或“债权人权利的暂缓行驶”,比如有个谚语叫:
- Forbearance is no acquittance.
缓期不等于作罢(即放宽期限不等于免除债务)。
到了16世纪90年代, forbearance 才开始产生如今的主要含义“克制、宽容、忍耐”,强调在局势艰难或他人挑衅的情况下,依然能够心怀仁慈耐心谨慎,不对他人加以批判、实施惩罚或寻求报复,比如:
- 她回答他无礼的问题时显示出极大的宽容。
She showed great forbearance in answering his rude questions.
名人用例
There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
克制也有个限度,超过了限度就不再是美德。
出自爱尔兰裔英国政治家、作家、哲学家埃德蒙·伯克(Edmund Burke,1729年1月12日-1797年7月9日)。他对法国大革命的反思使其成为辉格党里的保守主义主要人物,常被视为英美保守主义的奠基者。
