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.
The word carries a political smell for many English speakers對很多說英語的人來說，這個字帶有政治的味道， especially a left-wing or labour-union one尤其是左派或工會的味道；'Solidarity' with a capital S was the famous Polish trade union of the 1980s大寫的'Solidarity'，指的是一九八零年代波蘭那個有名的工會。But it has spread well beyond politics不過它現在已經用得比政治廣得多， and companies, sports teams, and families all use it now公司、運動隊伍，還有家庭現在都會用這個字。
Note that it describes the bond, not the people: a group can HAVE solidarity, but the group itself is not 'a solidarity'.
Note that it describes the bond, not the people要注意它形容的是那種連結，不是那群人：a group can HAVE solidarity一個群體可以「擁有」solidarity， but the group itself is not 'a solidarity'但這個群體本身不能被叫做'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.
