  • 词义辨析
  • riot, rebellion, revolt, revolution
  • 这四个词共同的意思是“革命”。它们的区别是:
    revolution指规模较大的推翻旧政权的行为,也可指其他的有进步意义的历史变革; revolt一般指规模较小,且时间较短的“起义”,还可指广泛的“反抗”,不一定采取暴力方式,对象也不一定是政权。例如:
    Armed revolt occurred frequently in oppressed countries.在被压迫国家内常发生武装起义的事件。
    rebellion一般是从旧统治阶级角度来看,因此可译为“造反,叛乱”,通常未能成功,可指某一次具体事件,但不宜指正义的革命。例如:
    In mediaeval Europe, big nobles often rose in rebellion against the king.在中世纪的欧洲,大贵族常掀起叛乱反对国王。
    riot作“骚动”解,指一群人喧嚷捣乱。例如:
    The book has as its central theme a riot in a small southern town of the United States.这本书的主题是美国南部一个小城发生的暴乱。
  • rebellion,revolt,riot
  • 这些名词都含“造反、叛乱、骚乱”之意。
    rebellion通常指有组织、公开地大规模武断叛乱,并以失败而告终。
    revolt指规模相对较小的,持续时间较短,侧重对压迫或不能容忍的情况的反抗。
    riot多指没有组织的一群人突然掀起的闹事。也可指暴乱或暴动。
