※ 引述《menesn (談亦云)》之銘言： : by M-W : 1 a : an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction : b : a ruling principle : 2 : a command by one in authority : 這三個解示有什差別阿 : 感覺都差不多耶 查了幾本英英字典，乍看之下,還是看不出來上述3個解釋的差別. Longman說, 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給兩個解釋, 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說, [usually pl.] (formal) an order or a rule that you must obey 例句 to follow the dictates of fashion 經過交叉分析後,我覺得, M-W 1 a : an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction 這個指的是法律,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 這個指的是ㄧ般的社會的,文化的,良心上的準則. 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 這個指的是權威人士或團體的命令. 例如Collins定義1, ...the dictates of the Party --
