- 1團結、休戚與共（不只是意見一致，是願意一起承擔；「聲援」也常用這個字：in solidarity with = 聲援）
Solidarity is the feeling of standing together — people supporting one another because they share an aim, a situation, or a struggle. It is the word for workers backing a strike, for one country supporting another under attack, for all refusing to name who broke the window. The key idea is not just agreement; it is agreement plus willingness to bear a cost together. You often see it in fixed phrases: 'in solidarity with' (they marched in solidarity with the nurses), 'show solidarity', 'a show of solidarity', 'stand in solidarity'. It is uncountable — no 'a solidarity', no 'solidarities' in normal use. The word carries a political smell for many English speakers, especially a left-wing or labour-union one; 'Solidarity' with a capital S was the famous Polish trade union of the 1980s. But it has spread well beyond , and companies, sports teams, and families all use it now. Note that it describes the bond, not the people: a group can HAVE solidarity, but the group itself is not 'a solidarity'.
組成From French solidarité, from Latin solidum 'the whole sum' — the neuter of solidus 'solid, whole'. In old law, people who were liable 'in solidum' each owed the WHOLE debt, not just their share. That is the picture still inside the word: your problem is fully my problem.
