  • 记忆方法

    词源词根法
    源自拉丁语condonare‘forgive’(宽恕)。condonare原系法律用语,所表示之“宽恕”是指夫妻一方对于另一方的不贞行为以对方不再重犯为条件的宽恕,故condone亦用于此义。以后词义扩大,亦可泛指一般的“宽恕”或“宽容”。ccndonare由前缀con-‘altogether’和donare‘give,pardon’(给予,原谅)两部分合成。英语有两个常用词donor(捐赠者,赠与者)和donation(捐赠,捐献)也源于donare这一拉丁词。

    小知识

    If you condone something, you allow it, approve of it, or at least can live with it. Some teachers condone chewing gum, and some don't.

    Things that are condoned are allowed, even if everyone isn't exactly thrilled about it. People often say, “I don't condone what he did, but I understand it.” Condoning is like excusing something. People seem to talk more about things they don't condone than things they do condone. Your mom might say, “I don't condone you staying up till 10, but I know you need to read.” That's a way of giving approval and not giving approval at the same time.

    单词用法

    词源词缀
    在西方历史中人们通常将通奸(adultery)视为犯罪,并制定了严格的惩罚措施。在古罗马,女子通奸将被没收一半的嫁妆和三分之一的财产,放逐至小岛,永远不得再结婚。男人发现老婆与人通奸,必须告发并与其离婚,否则将受到严惩。在经典名著《红字》中,女主人公因为与人偷情生子,而被宗教法庭判处终身佩戴一个象征“通奸”的红色A字。=这种情况到了19世纪下半叶才有所改观。1857年,英国通过“婚姻诉讼法》,将通奸行为定义为一种民事行为而非刑事行为。该法规定,夫妻一方可以因为对方的通奸行为而离婚,还规定男子可以对妻子的奸夫索取侵权赔偿。另外,该法首次提出了condone这个法律术语,意思是夫妻一方对另一方的通奸行为以不再重犯为条件的宽恕。英语单词condone源自拉丁文condonare。其中,con为强化语气的前缀,donare表示“给予”,字面意思就是“宽恕,放弃追究权利”。源自拉丁文donare的单词还有donate(捐献)、pardon(原谅)。=condone:[k?n'd??n]vt.宽恕,赦免=condonation:[,k?nd??'ne???n]n.(夫妻间对对方通奸行为的)宽恕,赦免,赎罪
