Condemnation is the act, or the words, of saying that someone or something is very wrong — not a small complaint, but strong moral disapproval. A government, a newspaper, a school, or a crowd can offer a condemnation: they name what happened and they reject it. People condemn cruelty, cheating, a harsh law, a violent attack.

The noun names that serious judgement. It sounds formal and heavy. News likes the phrase widespread condemnation, meaning many people, in many places, are saying this was not acceptable.

The noun names that serious judgement這個名詞指的就是那種嚴肅的評斷。It sounds formal and heavy它聽起來正式又沉重。News likes the phrase新聞喜歡用 widespread condemnationwidespread condemnation這個說法, meaning意思是 many people, in many places, are saying this was not acceptable很多地方的很多人都在說這是不能接受的。

Though actually, condemnation is about right and wrong, not only about a courtroom. A court may convict someone; that is a legal finding. Condemnation can happen with no trial at all — just a strong public “this is wrong.” (American law also uses condemnation for the government taking private land, but that is a specialist sense, not the one learners need first.) For everyday and news English, keep the moral meaning: a loud, serious no.
