用法讲解

adj. (形容词)
  1. arbitrary作“任意的,主观的”解时,主要指不按照客观实际办事; 作“专横的,无理的,独断专行的”解时,主要指无视宪法与法律或别人的利益而是按照自己的意愿任意行使或滥用权力。
adj. (形容词)
arbitrary, absolute, tyrannical
  • 这组词都有“不受制约地行使权力或权威”的意思。其区别是:
  • 1.从意思上说:absolute指“无条件的; 绝对的”,主要用于描述权威或权威者; arbitrary指“专横的; 任性的”,指按个人当时的意愿而不顾宪法和法律任意行使或滥用权力,强调随心所欲和个人私利; tyrannical指“专制的,暴君的”,强调滥用权力,苛求和压迫他人。
  • 2.从使用范围上说:absolute可指一个人或一个集团; arbitrary指个人; tyrannical不指人,也不指政府,而指任何滥用权威的现象。
  • 词源解说
