A bigot is a person with a hard, closed mind about other people — often about race, religion, or another group — who will not listen and treats those people as less. It is a strong, label; you use it in news, argument, and serious talk, not as a light joke.
A bigot is a person with a hard, closed mind about other people bigot 指的是對其他人抱持頑固、封閉心態的人──often about race, religion, or another group常常是針對種族、宗教或其他群體──who will not listen and treats those people as less不願意聽取意見，還把那些人看得比較低下。It is a strong, unkind label這是一個很重、不友善的標籤; you use it in news, argument, and serious talk用在新聞、辯論和嚴肅的談話裡, not as a light joke而不是拿來輕鬆開玩笑。
The related words are bigoted (the describing form) and bigotry (the attitude). Though actually a bigot is wider than a racist: racist names hate or about race, while a bigot may shut the door over faith, nation, or another difference.
The related words相關的字有 are bigoted (the describing form) and bigotry (the attitude)形容詞是 bigoted，態度本身叫 bigotry。Though actually不過其實 a bigot is wider than a racist bigot 的範圍比 racist 更廣: racist names hate or unfairness about race racist 指的是針對種族的仇恨或不公平, while a bigot may shut the door over faith, nation, or another difference而 bigot 則可能是因為信仰、國籍或其他差異而把心門關上。
People sometimes throw the word too loosely at anyone they disagree with; that stretch makes it weaker, and it is worth keeping for the real closed-mind case.
People sometimes throw the word too loosely at anyone they disagree with有些人會把這個字隨便丟給任何跟自己意見不合的人; that stretch makes it weaker這樣濫用會讓這個字變得沒那麼有力, and it is worth keeping for the real closed-mind case值得把它保留給真正心態封閉的情況。
組成From French bigot, once “a person who plays at being holy”. Scholars do not agree where the French word came from. The story told most often is that it began as a rude name for very religious Normans, from them saying “by God” so often — but that is only the most common guess, not a settled fact.
