- 1駁回、否決（用職權推翻別人的決定；法庭上常說駁回異議）
To overrule is to use official power to change or cancel an order or decision you think is wrong. A judge overrules a lawyer's objection: the lawyer says that question is not allowed, and the judge says the question may stay. A higher court can overrule a lower court's decision. A chairperson can overrule a choice that broke the rules. You overrule a person, or you overrule a decision; both sound natural. It is a formal, authority word. You would not overrule a friend's restaurant pick unless you were joking, because it claims you sit above them. Though actually, in daily talk people often say override for buttons, computers, and safety settings, and overrule for people and official decisions. The tidy line is not always how it comes out of someone's mouth.
組成From over- + rule. over- here is “above”; rule is to decide with authority. You stand above another ruling and set it aside.
