Question

protagonist n.主角；支持者 (1) 每个人都是自己故事里旳主角。(2) 她在她的新小说中创造了一个精力充沛的年轻人作主角。(3) 在这种作用中，报纸作为民众事业的倡导者，又激发了我们知识界的想象力。 A novel, movie, or play might have many main characters, but it can really only have one protagonist — or maybe two in the case of, say, Romeo and Juliet. That's because protos means "first" in Greek, and agonistes means "competitor" or "actor." It can also mean a leading figure in a real-life situation: "Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were the protagonists of the U.S. Civil War." Don't use it to mean "a supporter of an idea or cause"; the word you're looking for in that situation is proponent.
