Disobedience is the act of not doing what someone in charge told you to do — a parent, a teacher, a boss, a rule, a law. It names the behaviour, not the person.

Disobedience不服從 is the act of not doing就是不去做 a parent, a teacher, a boss, a rule, a law像是父母、老師、老闆、規定、法律 what someone in charge told you to do這些掌權者要你做的事。It names它講的是 the behaviour行為，not the person不是這個人。

At home and at school it often means a child who will not follow instructions. In more serious talk it can mean refusing an order or a law.

At home and at school在家裡和學校 it often means它通常是指 a child who will not follow instructions不聽指示的小孩。In more serious talk講得更嚴重一點 it can mean它可以是指 refusing an order or a law拒絕命令或法律。

The word is a little formal; everyday English might just say not doing as you were told, or breaking the rules.

The word這個字 is a little formal有點正式；everyday English日常英文 might just say可能只會說 not doing as you were told沒照吩咐做，or breaking the rules或違反規定。

Though actually, people stretch it: some “disobedience” is a small no at home, and some is a public stand against a rule the person thinks is wrong. The word itself does not tell you if the speaker thinks the no was bad or brave — that depends who is talking.

Though actually不過其實，people stretch it大家會把這個字用得更廣：some “disobedience” is a small no at home有些「不服從」只是在家裡小小地說不，and some is a public stand against a rule the person thinks is wrong有些則是公開反對一條這個人認為不對的規定。The word itself這個字本身 does not tell you不會告訴你 if the speaker thinks說話的人覺得 the no was bad or brave這個不是壞事還是勇敢——that depends who is talking那要看是誰在說。
