- 1侵犯（權利、法律）；侵權
When you infringe, you go against a law, or you step on a right the law said was someone else's. The picture students meet most is copying: a company uses a song, a film, a photo, or an invention that belongs to someone else. That is to infringe copyright, or to infringe a patent. People also say you infringe on or upon someone's rights — you take a freedom that was theirs. You infringe a right, a law, a patent; you do not infringe a person. The word is fairly formal, and you will hear it in news and in court more than at the dinner table. Though actually, everyday talk stretches it: “Don't infringe on my weekend” just means “don't eat into my free time.” That is looser than the legal sense, and some careful speakers dislike it. The core idea stays the same: you have crossed a line that was not yours to cross.
