If a look, a voice, a silence, or a comment is disapproving, it shows you think someone or something is bad or wrong — often without a long speech. A disapproving glance across a classroom; a disapproving shake of the head; a disapproving silence at the table.

If a look, a voice, a silence, or a comment is disapproving如果一個眼神、一種語氣、一段沉默，或一句話是disapproving（不以為然的），it shows you think someone or something is bad or wrong就表示你覺得某人或某件事不好、不對——often without a long speech而且通常不用長篇大論就能表現出來。A disapproving glance across a classroom像是在教室裡投來的disapproving一瞥；a disapproving shake of the headdisapproving地搖頭；a disapproving silence at the table餐桌上disapproving的沉默。

It is the adjective from disapprove, and people of all ages use it. It can be gentle (a parent more sad than angry) or sharp (a neighbour who has already judged you).

It is the adjective from disapprove這是disapprove（不贊同）的形容詞形式，and people of all ages use it各個年齡層的人都會用。It can be gentle (a parent more sad than angry)它可以是溫和的（像家長比較是難過而不是生氣），or sharp (a neighbour who has already judged you)也可以是尖銳的（像已經對你下了判斷的鄰居）。

Though actually, a disapproving face is often louder than a disapproving speech: the message is “I am not with you on this,” even when nobody names the rule that was broken.

Though actually不過，a disapproving face is often louder than a disapproving speechdisapproving的表情往往比disapproving的長篇說教更有力：the message is "I am not with you on this,"傳達的訊息是「這件事我不站在你這邊」，even when nobody names the rule that was broken就算沒有人明講到底破壞了哪條規矩。
