denunciate
UK/di'nʌnsieit, -ʃieit/US
GRE
释义
v.
To condemn or denounce openly and formally.
公开正式地谴责,声讨。
词根拆分
词根派生de-(向下、对着)+ nunci(宣告)+ -ate(动词)=「对着……宣告」= 公开谴责。这个拉丁式动词罕见且略显古旧;现代英语几乎都用 denounce,而保留 denunciation 作名词。
词根 nunci 还连着 3 个词例句
- 1.
Reformers rose to denunciate the abuses of the old court.
改革者纷纷起来声讨旧朝廷的弊政。
- 2.
He used the pulpit to denunciate greed and cruelty.
