短释义
Controversy means a quarrel (often public) involving strong disagreement, but the topic can be as unimportant as a new movie. There might be a controversy in the pages of fashion magazines over whether shorter hems are really in style, or about wearing white after Labor Day. Controversy is from the Latin contrōversus, “turned in an opposite direction,” from the prefix contrā, “against,” plus versus, a form of vertere, “to turn.”
争议是人们表达强烈反对观点的争议或争论。当一部热门电视节目杀死一个深受喜爱的角色时,必然会引起很多争议。
