时间Tue Aug 14 11:18:57 2007
※ 引述《menesn (谈亦云)》之铭言:
: by M-W
: 1 a : an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction
: b : a ruling principle
: 2 : a command by one in authority
: 这三个解示有什差别阿
: 感觉都差不多耶
查了几本英英字典,乍看之下,还是看不出来上述3个解释的差别.
Longman说,
dictate: an order, rule, or principle that you have to obey
例句
1.teenagers following the dictates of fashion.
2.The city's policy clearly violates the dictates of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
3.Human beings are going to resist cultural dictates that are too
inconsistent with their innate desires.
4.When I was very young, the things I wanted to do were not permitted
by social dictates.
Collins给两个解释,
1.[usu with supp, oft N of n]
A dictate is an order which you have to obey.
例句
Their job is to ensure that the dictates of the Party are followed.
2.[usu pl, with supp, usu N of n]
Dictates are principles or rules which you consider to be extremely
important.
例句
We have followed the dictates of our consciences and have done
our duty.
Oxford说,
[usually pl.]
(formal) an order or a rule that you must obey
例句
to follow the dictates of fashion
经过交叉分析後,我觉得,
M-W
1 a : an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction
这个指的是法律,法案的命令指示
例如Longman 例句2,the dictates of the Fair Labor Standards Act
b : a ruling principle
这个指的是ㄧ般的社会的,文化的,良心上的准则.
例如Longman
例句1,...the dictates of fashion.
例句3....cultural dictates...
例句4....social dictates...
和Collins 例句2. ...the dictates of our consciences...
以及Oxford中的例句...the dictates of fashion
2 : a command by one in authority
这个指的是权威人士或团体的命令.
例如Collins定义1, ...the dictates of the Party
