Disapprobation is a heavy, formal word for the feeling that someone has done something morally wrong, and you will not stand with them. It is not merely “I don’t like this.” It is closer to “this is not right.” You meet it in books, newspapers, churches, courts, and old-fashioned or official writing — almost never at the dinner table. A parent might show everyday ; a columnist or a public body might speak of public disapprobation. Though actually, even in those places many people now just say . Disapprobation still turns up when the writer wants the moral weight to be heard, like a word in a black coat.
非難、譴責(很正式;日常多說不贊同或不以為然)
組成dis- (not / the opposite) + approbation (formal approval).
