我們?cè)谟⑽闹幸?jiàn)過(guò)不少以ist結(jié)尾的單詞,比如racist(種族主義者)、materialist(唯物主義者)等。這些單詞指代的人群通常都對(duì)某一事物或理念,如race(種族)或material(物質(zhì))懷有堅(jiān)定的或固執(zhí)的認(rèn)識(shí)和想法。今天,我們就為這個(gè)ist詞匯家族新添一位成員吧。
Placist is a person who discriminates against other people based on where the other people live, or who holds strong negative or positive feelings toward a certain place based on loose stereotypes.
Placist(地域主義者)指因他人的居住地而對(duì)其抱有歧視態(tài)度的人,或者指因?yàn)槟承┖翢o(wú)根據(jù)的固有印象而對(duì)某個(gè)地方抱有強(qiáng)烈的否定或肯定態(tài)度的人。
For example:
Ashlyn is such a placist. She thinks that everybody who lives in Florida is old, senile, plays golf all day and is a terrible driver.
阿什琳真是有地域偏見(jiàn)。她覺(jué)得佛羅里達(dá)州的每個(gè)人都老態(tài)龍鐘,整天打高爾夫,而且開(kāi)車技術(shù)很差勁。
