Question

disdain n.轻蔑v.蔑视 (1) 当我走进萨克福大学，要求报读时，接待员用轻蔑的眼神看着我。(2) 他鄙视那个势利小人，不愿和他说话。 In Old French, deignier meant "to treat something as worthy." To disdain something, then, is to treat it with contempt: "Management at [the company] displayed a certain disdain for safety and appeared to regard safety-conscious workers as wimps in the organization." As a verb, disdain carries an air of self-righteousness not associated with similar words like despise, abhor, detest, loathe and scorn. So if you disdain something, you might reject it with a haughty scoff, "Ha!"
