1. 1改革派(的);改革主義者(較書面)

    If a person, a party, or a plan is reformist, they want to change a system or a situation — especially in — by what is already there rather than tearing it down. Newspapers talk about a reformist wing of a party: new laws, new habits, still the same state. As a noun, a reformist is a person who thinks this way. Though actually, the word is a bit more formal than “someone who wants change,” and writers often set it against radical or revolutionary. It does not by itself tell you whether the changes are small or large; it only says the path is reform, not a clean break. You will hear it more in political talk than at the dinner table.

組成reform + -ist (a person, or that kind of thinking). The word is from around the end of the 16th century.
