Examples

“We‘ve walked around the beautiful island as the often inimical sea sprayed the granite rocks and we’ve enjoyed an ice cream or a Devonshire tea and walked back, windswept and happy。” — Peter Goers, The Advertiser (Australia), 15 May 2021

“我們在這美麗的小島上散步,充滿敵意的海水濺落在花崗岩上。我們吃了冰淇淋或喝了一杯德文郡茶,然後吹拂著海風愉快地返航。”

“For the first time in months, the outside wasn‘t inimical and I didn’t have to don protective clothing to be in it; I could walk straight out, as I was, and feel comfortable and relaxed。” — Melissa Harrison, The New Statesman, 3 Mar。 2021

Did You Know?

In inimical, one finds both a friend and an enemy。 The word descends from Latin inimicus, which combines amicus, meaning “friend,” with the negative prefix in-, meaning “not。” In current English, inimical rarely describes a person, however。 Instead, it is generally used to describe forces, concepts, or situations that are in some way harmful or hostile。 For example, high inflation may be called “inimical” to economic growth。 Inimicus is also an ancestor of enemy, whereas amicus gave English the much more congenial amicable (meaning “friendly” or “peaceful”) and amiable (meaning “agreeable” or “friendly”)。

在敵對中,一個人既能找到朋友,也能找到敵人。 這個詞來自拉丁語 inimicus,它結合了 amicus(意思是“friends「朋友」”)和「表否定含義的」字首 in-(意思是“no「不是」”)。 然而,在現代英語中,inimical 很少描述一個人。 相反,它通常用於描述以某種有害的方式或敵對的力量、敵對的概念或敵對的情況。 例如,high inflation may be called “inimical” to economic growth。 「高通貨膨脹可被稱作“不利於”經濟增長」。 Inimicus 也是enrmy「敵人」的詞源,而“amicus”則給英語帶來了更適合的“amicable”(意思是“友好”或“和平”)和amiable(意思是“和藹可親”或“友好”)。
