- 1民粹的；民粹主義者（台灣新聞裡「民粹」常帶一點批評的味道）
Populist describes a person, party, or idea that claims to stand for ordinary people — workers, shop owners, people without much money or fancy schooling — and against the rich, the highly educated, or people already in power. You will hear it most in news and , not in chat about everyday life. A populist speaker likes a simple picture: “the people” on one side and “the elite” on the other. Though actually, the word is often not a compliment. Many writers use it as a warning: they mean someone who wins support by telling crowds what they want to hear, even when the promise is too neat for a hard problem. Both left-wing and right-wing politicians can be called populist; it is not one team’s word. As a noun, a populist is such a person. It is a fairly formal, grown-up word.
組成From Latin populus, “the people,” plus English -ist, “a person who follows or believes in something.”
