- 1n/ˈnɑːtsi/Nazi (Hitler's party or German side)納粹（黨員）
A member of the National Socialist party led by Adolf Hitler, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. In everyday talk about that war, the word is often used more loosely for people on the German side, not only for party members.
Nazi 指的是希特勒領導的那個政黨的成員。這個黨從 1933 年到 1945 年統治德國。英文裡第一個字母通常大寫，因為它是一個特定政黨的名字。複數是 Nazis。日常講到二戰的時候，這個字也常被用得比較寬鬆：不只是真的入黨的人，連當時德國那一邊的軍人也會被這樣講。讀到它的時候，你可以確定句子在談那一段歷史。它是一個歷史名詞，指的是明確的時間、明確的一群人。

- 2n/ˈnɑːtsi/harsh rule-enforcer (insult)（罵人）獨裁作風的人
口語An insulting name for someone who uses power over other people in a very harsh, strict way, or who forces their own rules on everybody. Often used with a subject in front, as in 'grammar Nazi'.
這是把那個歷史名詞拿來罵人的用法。說某人是 Nazi，意思是他管得太嚴、太兇，把自己的規矩硬套在別人身上。最常見的組合是前面加一個題目：grammar Nazi 就是看到別人文法寫錯就一定要糾正的人。這個說法很口語，而且很不客氣。字典把它標成 slang、derogatory，有時候還標 offensive——因為它拿真實的歷史災難來形容日常小事。寫的時候大小寫都看得到，小寫的 nazi 在這個用法裡並不少見。
