| 背面 |      释义： 1. de- "down" + -tain.2. => hold sb/sth down, keep sb/sth down.3.也就是咱们常说的：留住，留下来；因此这里使用表示“down”的词根也就再正常不过了。4. 咱们常说把某人留下来，也就是将其留住嘛！5. 或者：de- "off, away" + -tain.6. => hold off, keep off, keep away, keep back(留在原地).7. 似乎后一种解释更合理一些。n. 种族灭绝；灭绝整个种族的大屠杀 例句： 1. They've launched a campaign of genocide against the immigrants.他们对移民进行了种族灭绝. genocide 种族灭绝geno-, 种族。-cide, 杀。 genocidegenocide: see generalgenocide (n.)1944, apparently coined by Polish-born U.S. jurist Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959) in his work "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" [p.19], in reference to Nazi extermination of Jews, literally "killing a tribe," from Greek genos "race, kind" (see genus) + -cide. The proper formation would be *genticide. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aimed at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. [Lemkin] Earlier in a similar sense was populicide (1799), from French populicide, by 1792, a word from the Revolution. This was taken into German, as in Völkermeuchelnden "genocidal" (Heine), which was Englished 1893 as folk-murdering. Ethnocide is attested from 1974 in English (1970 in French)." |
