短释义
The word rebuke can be a verb, meaning to sternly reprimand or scold, but it can also be a noun, because a rebuke is the result of being scolded. The root comes from the Old French rebuchier and means “to hack down,” or “beat back.” A rebuke, then, is meant to be critical and to chide — in today’s terms, a rebuke is verbal smack-down!
如果你受到斥责,那就意味着你受到了谴责或责骂。如果你连续四天忘记做数学作业,你肯定会受到责备。
