Xenophobic,读音ˈze-nə-ˌfōbik, unduly fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign origin,无端畏惧外国人(或事物)的。这里的xeno-是个前缀,表示alien,strange;phobic是phobia(恐惧症)的形容词形式,如果想表达患有某种恐惧症的人则用后缀phobe。列出一些常见的恐惧症:amaxophobia(乘车恐惧症)、kathisophobia(静坐恐惧症)、claustrophobia(密闭空间恐惧症),以及近几年才出现的nomophobia(无手机恐惧症)。
原话摘录:
“Cooper: I want to follow on with something Donald Trump said to you. A comment you made last month. You said half of Donald Trump supporters are quote deplorables. Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic. You later said you regretted saying half. You didn't express regret for using the term deplorables. To Mr. Carter’s question, how can you unite a country if you've written off tens of millions of Americans?
主持人Cooper:我想就特朗普对你的言论跟进一下。上月你评论称,特朗普的支持者中有一半人应该受到谴责,称他们是种族主义者、性别歧视主义者、恐同分子、惧外分子、恐伊斯兰分子。后来,你说后悔说了‘一半’那个词。但你并没有对使用deplorables这个词表示后悔。回到卡特先生的提问,如果你都把这上千万的美国人给排除在外了,你怎么团结整个国家呢?”
