词义辨析

v. (动词)

protest, expostulate, kick, object, oppose, remonstrate

• 这组词的共同意思是“反对某项议程、政策或方案”。其区别是：
• object强调个人的嫌恶与反感,但不一定明显地表露出来,着重个人不喜欢,无好感,以及由于与个人密切相关而提出反对意见,多以口头方式提出反对,有时伴有一定的具体动作; protest通常指通过言语或文字表露出来的强烈抗议; remonstrate含有对儿童、亲友等进行说服或规劝的意思,并有责备的意味,也含有“强烈抗议”的意思; expostulate表示坚决、真诚和友好的忠告; kick表示“反对,反抗”,强调反抗者的顽强; oppose表示轻微的、激烈的等各种不同程度的反对,甚至发展到以武力对抗。例如:
• I objected that he was too young for the position.我提出反对意见,他太年轻不适合那个职位。
• I was shocked at what he'd done, and expostulated with him strongly.我对他干的事感到震惊,并严厉地告诫过他。
• I have always kicked at your ideas.我一直反对你的看法。
• The husband strongly opposed his wife's going there alone.丈夫极力反对妻子单独去那个地方。
• If it's protested by all the people, the government can hardly carry out the new policy.如果遭到公众一致反对,政府很难推行新政策。
• I remonstrated against his behaviour.我抗议他的行为。

object，oppose，resist，protest

• 这些动词均含“反对”之意。
• object多指因厌恶或反感而反对，但不一定明显地表露出来。
• oppose普通用词，含义广，语气强于object。多指反对一些较重大的事，隐含其正当性。
• resist指用力量或意志抵抗、制止对方的入侵或诱惑、影响等。
• protest一般指通过言语或文字或行为表示出的强烈抗议、反对。

词源解说

• ☆ 1340年进入英语，直接源自古法语的protester；最初源自古典拉丁语的protestari，意为公开宣称。
