- 1公開譴責
A denunciation is a public statement in which you speak out strongly against a person, a group, or a thing — you name the wrong, and you want other people to hear it. It is a heavy, formal word. You meet it in the news, in , in court reporting, in a speech; you would not use it about a friend being twenty minutes late. It is stronger than criticism. A criticism can be quiet and private; a denunciation is meant to be seen, and to land. The matching verb is denounce: you denounce someone, and that act, or the statement itself, is a denunciation. Though actually, in older legal talk, the same word can also mean reporting someone to the authorities. The meaning you will meet most, and the one this entry is for, is the public attack in words.
組成From denounce + -ation (the act, or the statement). Denounce comes from Latin de- + nuntiare ('to announce, to make known').
