- 1兵變、譁變；（口語也可指）集體抗命
A mutiny is when people who are supposed to obey a leader — especially soldiers or sailors — refuse those orders and try to take control themselves. It is stronger and more particular than a complaint or a protest. The people are already under someone's command; they break that. Navies used the word a lot, because a ship is a small world with nowhere to go, so a fight over who is in charge is deadly serious. You can also stretch it, a little : “The class mutinied when the teacher gave homework on Friday.” That stretch is common, but the core is still “we will not follow you any more.” As a verb, to mutiny means to take part in that rising.
