核心畫面
One way to picture it: two figures facing each other in a ring, neither moving, both set. Nothing has been thrown yet, and nothing needs to be — the standing-against is already the whole thing. Antagonism is that posture, held over time. What stands opposite you can be another person or group, or it can be a plan, a rule, an organization; the posture does not change, only what it faces.
可以想成兩個人面對面站在場上，誰也沒動，但姿勢都擺好了。還沒出手，也不必出手——「站在對面」本身就是這個字的全部。a…更多收起
可以想成兩個人面對面站在場上，誰也沒動，但姿勢都擺好了。還沒出手，也不必出手——「站在對面」本身就是這個字的全部。antagonism 就是那個維持了很久的姿勢。站在你對面的，可能是另一個人或另一群人，也可能是一個計畫、一條規定、一個機構。姿勢沒變，只是對面換了東西。From the word’s history
From Ancient Greek antagonistes, 'the one who struggles against you', built on agon, a contest.
來自希臘文 antagōnistḗs（跟你對打的人），底下是 agṓn（比賽、較量）。所以「兩邊對峙」不是後來加上去的比喻，從一開始就在這個字裡。
