📖 词根拆解

来自拉丁语 accūsāre,由 ad-（朝向）和 causa（原因,理由）组成。本义是“找原因反对（某人）”,也就是“指责、控告”。

💡 联想技巧

谐音:“挨个哭死”。想象因为一件坏事,一群“挨个”被你“哭死”（指责）的人,他们都非常难过。画面是:你（Ac）因为一个原因（cuse）,让一群人（挨个）哭得很惨。

📖 例句

My friend accused me of forgetting about our plans when I was actually just stuck in traffic. 🔊 我的朋友指责我忘记了我们的计划,实际上我只是被堵在路上了。

📖 文化故事

想象一下,在古希腊的公民大会上,一个演讲家猛地指向对手,声音响彻全场:“我指控你！” 这个动作不是简单的争吵,而是一场可能决定对方命运的公开审判的开始。在古罗马,“accusare”这个词就与法庭上正式的起诉紧密相连,它不是私下抱怨,而是将过错置于公众目光之下,要求一个裁决。那么,被指控的人如何为自己辩护呢？
