核心畫面

Looking at something someone does and quietly withholding your yes — not shouting, just refusing to give it your approval, because in your judgement it is not good.

有人做了一件事、提了一個想法,而你看著它,心裡那個「好」給不出去。這不一定是生氣或吵架,更多是一種收回的動作——你把更多收起有人做了一件事、提了一個想法,而你看著它,心裡那個「好」給不出去。這不一定是生氣或吵架,更多是一種收回的動作——你把本來可以給的認可留在自己這邊。approve 是點頭說可以,前面加上 dis- 就是把那個點頭抽掉。所以這個字的重心不在憤怒,在「我不給你我的贊同」。

Two branches

心裡不認同

這一支就是核心畫面本身:認可停在你心裡,沒有交出去。

To think that someone, or the way they behave or the ideas they have, is bad or wrong.

不贊成;不認同

正式駁回

把核心那個「不給認可」放進有權力的位置:心裡的不認同一旦有職權撐著,就從態度變成結果。

reject, veto · verb · B2

To officially decide not to agree to a plan, request, or idea that someone has suggested, so that it cannot go ahead.

否決;不批准
