"Appease" 是动词,指通过让步或妥协来平息不满、愤怒或冲突,通常带有暂时缓解而非根本解决的隐含意义。该词源于拉丁语 ad-(加强语气)和 pacare(使平静),字面意为"促成和平"词源参考:Online Etymology Dictionary。
在政治语境中,该词常含贬义,例如1938年《慕尼黑协定》被视作对纳粹德国的绥靖政策(Appeasement Policy),英国首相张伯伦试图通过领土让步避免战争,却加速了第二次世界大战爆发历史案例参考:大英百科全书。心理学领域则指通过满足需求来缓和紧张关系,如父母用玩具安抚哭闹孩童[行为分析参考:American Psychological Association]。
