Question

contempt n.轻视；轻蔑 (1) 她的动作表示轻视。(2) 这种行为令人不齿。(3) 他们对他轻蔑已极。(4) 她的态度清楚地表示了对他的轻蔑。 Contempt has nothing to do with the verb condemn, despite the similarity in sound and meaning; it is from Latin temnere "to despise," and if you despise someone, you have contempt for them. It's a harsh term and should be used with care; it's stronger than either disdain or scorn. It suggests you find someone or something utterly worthless. That food snob might say the words "Big Mac" or "Whopper" with a voice dripping in contempt.
