militate against 是一個動詞短語,主要用于正式語境中,表示某個因素、情況或事實起到阻礙、反對或不利于某事發生或成功的作用。它強調的是一種客觀存在的阻力或障礙,而非主觀的反對行為。
其核心含義與用法如下:
核心語義:制造障礙或不利條件
His lack of experience militated against his getting the job.
(他缺乏經驗,這不利于他得到那份工作。) —— 這裡,“缺乏經驗”這個事實本身構成了獲得工作的障礙。強調客觀影響而非主觀意圖
Militate against
強調的是客觀環境或因素所産生的負面影響,而不是人或組織有意識地、主動地去反對某事。oppose
(反對) 或 fight against
(抗争),後者通常涉及主觀意願和行動。Militate against
更像是環境本身“在起作用”來阻止某事。典型主語與賓語
The high cost militates against widespread adoption.
(高昂的成本阻礙了廣泛采用。) / Her shyness militated against her in the interview.
(她的害羞在面試中對她不利。)militate against change/success/progress/a decision/an outcome
(阻礙改變/成功/進步/某個決定/某個結果)。同義詞辨析
Militate against
通常更正式。Militate against
更強調因素本身的内在阻力屬性。militate against
有重疊,但後者範圍更廣。militate against
的客觀性不同。
使用 militate against
時,意在表達某個既存的事實、條件或環境本身構成了實現某事的實質性障礙或不利因素。它描述的是客觀存在的阻力,而非主觀的反對行動。這個短語為正式用語,常見于分析性寫作、新聞報道或學術讨論中,用于解釋為何某些期望的結果難以達成。
參考來源:
“militate against”是一個正式用語,表示某種因素或條件對某事物産生不利影響或阻礙。以下是詳細解析:
主語類型
主語多為抽象概念或客觀因素(如規則、文化、經濟條件等),而非具體的人或行為。
例句:
"Strict regulations militate against innovation in this industry."(嚴格的法規阻礙了該行業的創新)
固定搭配
必須與介詞against 連用,不可替換為其他介詞。常見錯誤表達如“mitigate against”是混淆了“militate”與“mitigate”(緩解)的誤用。
與“mitigate”混淆:
“mitigate”意為“減輕(負面影響)”,而“militate against”強調“導緻負面影響”。例如:
❌ 誤:Poverty mitigates against education.
✅ 正:Poverty militates against access to education.
主語誤用:
避免将人作為主語,例如:
❌ 誤:He militated against the policy.
✅ 正:His criminal record militated against his job application.
可替換為hinder(阻礙)、work against(對…不利)、be a barrier to(成為障礙)等,但需注意語體正式程度的差異。
通過上下文可發現,該短語多用于分析社會、政策、經濟等宏觀因素的制約作用。
