基本释义

[verb] remove (a need or difficulty)
[动词] 消除(某个需要或困难)

深入解读

Obviate 是一个与前年推送过的 deviate 有着相同结尾并且同词根 vi(a), vey, voy (道路)的单词。

其中 obviate 源自拉丁语 obvius (挡道的;逆向而行的),于16世纪90年代经拉丁语 obviare (违背、违反)的过去分词 obviatus 进入英语后,即用来表示“消除、排除、打消、使无必要”,常作正式用语使用,侧重指通过清除障碍、解决困难或绕过本是需要的东西来预防潜在的不愉快事情发生,也包括运用智慧或预先考虑来避免麻烦,比如:

  • 这项新实物证据排除了继续调查的必要。
    This new tangible evidence obviates the need for any further enquiries.
  • 如果能和平解决就没有必要派遣联合国维和部队。
    A peaceful solution would obviate the need to send a UN military force.
