insurrection

名词，指一个国家的部分或全部民众以暴力反抗政府或其他权威的起事，通常规模有限或处于初期阶段。

💡 记忆钩子

把它想成一群人从统治者脚下突然站起来并冲向权威：这种“起身反抗”发展成针对政府或其他权威的暴力起事，就是 insurrection；它通常比普通抗议严重，但未必已经发展成全面革命。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 暴力起事；叛乱

📖 指一个国家的部分或全部民众以暴力起来反抗政府或其他权威；可以指起事这一行动，也可以指一次具体的起事。这个词通常暗示行动带有政治目的，而且规模或阶段仍有限。

💡 常用“an insurrection against + 权威”表示“针对某权威的一次起事”，或用“insurrection broke out”表示“起事爆发”。它常用于严肃的政治、历史或法律语境；作可数名词时要用冠词或复数形式，作不可数名词时则指这种行动本身。不要把它当作普通抗议或任何形式的反对意见的同义词。

also figuratively uncountable

An insurrection against the central government broke out in the northern region.

🌳 词源

源自拉丁语，词根含有“起来、起身”的意思，后来经法语进入英语。

From Late Middle English insurreccion (“uprising against a government, rebellion, revolt; civil disorder, riot; illegal armed assault”) [and other forms], from Middle French insurrection, Old French insurreccïon (modern French insurrection), and from their etymon Latin īnsurrēctiōnem (rare), the accusative singular of īnsurrēctiō (“rising up, insurrection, rebellion”), from īnsurgō (“to rise up”), from in- (prefix meaning ‘in, inside, within’) + surgō (“to arise, get up; to rise”) (from sub- (prefix meaning ‘(from) beneath, under’) + regō (“to direct, govern, rule; to guide, steer; to manage, oversee”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ- (“to right oneself, straighten; just; right”))).
