- 1嚴正抗議；勸諫
A remonstrance is a complaint or a protest, usually a careful, one. You do not so much shout a remonstrance as set out why you think something is wrong. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned noun: officials, lawyers, and history books like it more than daily chat does. A parent might still speak of a gentle remonstrance; a paper might report a public remonstrance against a new law. Though actually, the feeling is closer to “I must speak up” than to a noisy street protest. If you want the everyday cousin, say protest or complaint. You make a remonstrance, write one, or issue one — it names the protest as a thing.
組成From Middle French remonstrance (French remontrance): a pointing-out of what is wrong.
