Question

affront n.侮辱v.侮辱；冒犯 (1) 他当众侮辱我。(2) 他并不是一个可以忍受当众侮辱的人。(3) 他的话对社区所有成员是故意的侮辱。(4) 如今她的意志动不动就受到冒犯。 Affronter was an old French word meaning "to confront" or "slap in the face." It's from the Latin, ad frontem, meaning "to the face." Sure, a slap in the face would still be considered an affront, but other non-physical actions would also count. Some would even call a misplaced apostrophe an affront to the English language. Don't confuse affront with effrontery, which means "presumptuousness."
