Question

defiance n.蔑视；违抗；挑衅 (1) 蔑视法律使他付出沈重的代价。(2) 蔑视法律者终要倒霉。(3) 他们违抗命令还是去了。(4) 亚那因为违抗罗马的法律而被罢免。(5) 朝鲜公然挑衅使得这次棘手的外交使命更加困难也更有必要。(6) 在公共场所为了消遣而看这种书是违犯安全规定的，甚至是一种小小的挑衅行为。 We owe this lovely descriptive term to the French — specifically to the Old French word defier, which means to defy. (Don't mix it up with deify; that means to make someone or something into a god.) If you've ever studied Latin, you'll spot the fi from fidare "to trust" that inspired the Marines' "semper fi" motto and the popular moniker for pooches––"Fido." Combining fi with de- negates it. So an act of defiance is essentially an act of not trusting.
