Did You Know?
Hear ye! Hear ye! To vociferate is “to cry out loudly” so it’s perhaps unsurprising that the adjective vociferous is used to describe those who are loud and proud, who show their support or displeasure for something or someone by hootin’ and hollerin’. Both vociferate and vociferous come from the Latin vociferari, a combining of vox, meaning “voice,” with ferre, meaning “to carry.” In addition to describing loud and insistent individuals and groups—critics, crowds, fans, et al.—vociferous can be used for anything characterized by loud insistence, as in “vociferous complaints,” “a vociferous defense,” and “vociferous support.”
Hear ye! Hear ye! To vociferate 是“大声喊叫”，所以形容词 vociferous 被用来形容那些大声而且很得意的人，他们通过 hootin’ 和 hollerin’ 来表达他们对某事或某人的支持或不满，这也许不足为奇。 vociferate 和 vociferous 都来自拉丁语 vociferari，vox（意为“voice「声音」”）与 ferre（意为“to carry「携带」”）的组合。 除了描述大声和固执的人和团体——批评者、人群、粉丝等——vociferous 用于以大声且固执为特征的事物，如“a vociferous complaints「大声抱怨」”、“a vociferous defense「大声辩护」”和“vociferous support「大声支持」”。 “
