心裡容不下:對人的不容忍
「收不下」表現在態度上:別人不一樣,他就不肯讓那份不一樣存在。
unaccepting of differences · adjective · C2
Not willing to accept other people's beliefs, customs, or ways of thinking and behaving when they are different from your own.
不容忍的
One way to picture it: someone who cannot take something in — what is offered gets pushed back out, whether by the mind or by the body.
From Latin intolerans (in- + tolerans, from tolerare, to bear or endure), reaching English in the 18th century, probably via French intolérant.
源頭是拉丁文 tolerare「撐住、承受」,intolerans 就是「撐不住的」。這個字在英文裡出現得比想像中晚(十八世紀初),而且 tolerant 本身也是同一時期才有——兩個字幾乎是一起長出來的,正好是歐洲開始認真吵「該不該容許別人信別的宗教」的年代,字的重量從此就定在那裡了。
