factious/ˈfækʃəs/adj. of, characterized by, or inclined to faction 闹派别的，好结党营私的 □ factiously adv.□ factiousness n.[FACTION1]■ Usage 用法说明 The similarity in sense between faction (see FACTION1 1) and fraction (see FRACTION 4) may lead to confusion between the adjectives factious and fractious. Fractious, however is now only used to mean ‘unruly’ or ‘peevish’. faction (见 FACTION11) 与 fraction (见 FRACTION 4) 意义相近，可能会使人混淆形容词 factious 和 fractious 。但是 fractious 现仅用来表示 unruly (难以控制的，难驾驭的；不守规则的；蛮横的；任性的)或 peevish (易怒的，脾气怪戾的；喜欢闹别扭的)。 |
