Heterodox
“Heterodox” 是形容词,意为“非正统的”。它主要用于描述信仰、理论或观点,尤其是那些挑战了传统权威或主流学术共识的想法。
- “Her heterodox views on economics often sparked intense debate among her colleagues.” (她在经济学上的非正统观点经常在同事中引发激烈辩论。)
- “The church condemned the monk’s writings as heterodox.” (教会谴责该僧侣的著作为异端邪说。)
- “He was a heterodox thinker who refused to follow the standard rules of his profession.” (他是一位非正统的思想家,拒绝遵循其行业的标准规则。)
源自希腊语 “heteros” (不同的) 和 “doxa” (意见/信仰)。
- 前缀: “hetero-” (不同的)
- 词根: “dox” (意见/学说)
“Heterodox” 与 “Heretical” 近义,但 “heterodox” 的语气通常比 “heretical” 稍轻一些。它更多地用于描述知识分子对主流共识的偏离,而不是严重的宗教犯罪。
- 名词形式: “heterodoxy”
- 反义词: “orthodox”
“Hetero” (不同) + “dox” (观点)。就像 “ortho” (正) + “dox” (观点) 是正统一样,不同于正统的观点就是 “heterodox”。
“While most doctors used traditional medicine, the young physician experimented with heterodox treatments involving herbs and meditation. Though mocked at first, his patients often recovered faster than those treated with standard methods.” (虽然大多数医生使用传统药物,但这位年轻的内科医生尝试了包含草药和冥想的非正统疗法。尽管最初遭到嘲笑,但他的患者通常比接受标准方法治疗的患者恢复得更快。)
