基本释义
[noun] a short argument, especially between political opponents
[名词] (尤指政治上对立双方的)小争执,小争论
深入解读
skirmish本义指小规模的军事战斗,一般参与的战斗人员比较少,持续时间比较短,往往也没有经过详细计划,并且远离战争主战场,比如巷战可以说“a street skirmish”。虽然这个单词听起来很轻,像是一阵微风吹起灰尘,但skirmish造成的人员伤亡一般也不小。在日常生活中,skirmish多引申指在政治上对立双方的小争执或小争论。此外,skirmish也可以作动词表示“发生小规模战斗、遭遇战”或“发生小争论”。
影视用例
出自《莎翁情史》(Shakespeare in Love,香港译《写我深情》),一部1998年首映的浪漫喜剧电影。该片荣获1998年度第71届奥斯卡金像奖7个奖项,包括最佳影片、最佳女主角奖、最佳女配角及最佳原创剧本等。这也是自1977年,喜剧电影《安妮霍尔》(Annie Hall)获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖后,第一部喜剧电影夺得这项荣誉。
