- 1nC1/ˌsəʊʃəl ˈdeməkræt/社會民主主義者
Someone who supports social democracy: the idea that a country should keep free elections and personal freedom, and at the same time use the government to spread wealth more evenly, for example through public health care, pensions and rules that protect workers.
示範例句 · Example
Her grandfather was a social democrat and voted the same way all his life.
逐字她的祖父是一個社會民主主義者，而且一輩子都投一樣的票。
The word is built from two halves and holds both of them at once. The 'democrat' half means the changes are to be made by voting and by elected governments, not by force. The 'social' half means the goal is a fairer share of what a country produces. That combination is what the word names, so it is used to describe a position rather than to praise or attack one. Written with capital letters, Social Democrat usually means a member of a party with that name, such as parties in Germany and the Nordic countries; written small, it describes anyone who holds these views.
這個字由兩半組成，而它同時抓住兩半。democrat 那一半是說：要改變，就透過選舉和民選政府，不靠武力。social 那一半是說：目標是讓財富分配更平均。所以它指的是一種立場，例如支持公共醫療、退休金和保護勞工的規定。這個字本身是描述用的，不帶褒貶。大寫的 Social Democrat 通常指某個叫這個名字的政黨的成員，例如德國和北歐國家的政黨；小寫的就是泛指抱持這種主張的人。
