| 释义 | dissent Language commentators have for some time discussed the use of dissent followed by the preposition with. From the evidence in the Merriam-Webster files, it appears dissent with is not found in 20th-century writing. The OED records it, but labels the use of with obsolete and shows only a 1710 quotation from Addison. The OED and our files agree that dissent from is the usual combination: • All who dissent from its orthodox doctrines are scoundrels —H. L. Mencken, Prejudices: Second Series, 1923 • ... he must dissent from the central doctrine of that encyclical —Neil H. Jacoby, "The Progress of Peoples," 1969 The use of dissent to has also raised some hackles in the past. While it is not a very common usage, it may still be found, along with dissent against: • ... dissenting to the most outrageous invasion of private right ever set forth as a decison of the court —Julian P. Boyd, American Scholar, Winter 19521953 • It is summarized, dissented against and reviewed at ever-higher levels —David Binder, N. Y. Times, 26 Dec. 1976 The noun dissent, when used with a preposition, is usually followed by from: • ... was writing in dissent from a majority position —Willard Gaylin, Harper's, November 1971 Rarely it may also be found with to: • ... Maryland had confirmed its 88-year-old dissent to the 14th Amendment —Time, 18 Apr. 1955 |
