今天看到一篇新聞，題目為“LeBron James Gets Ejected After Altercation With Isaiah Stewart”，其中出現(xiàn)了”altercation“一詞，我腦子里便聯(lián)想出和它極像的另一個(gè)單詞”alternation“。今天我們就介紹一下這對(duì)”雙胞胎“。

百度搜索 altercation

Altercation

Collins：An altercation is a noisy argument or disagreement.

Webster：a noisy, heated, angry dispute

這個(gè)詞的意思是“（激烈的）爭(zhēng)辯，吵嘴“，使用時(shí)請(qǐng)注意兩點(diǎn)：1）正是一個(gè)非常正式的用語(yǔ)，請(qǐng)?jiān)谡綀?chǎng)合使用，2）常用形式是altercation with/between

例句：

1. I had a slight altercation with some people who objected to our filming. 我和一些反對(duì)我們拍電影的人之間發(fā)生了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)小爭(zhēng)執(zhí)。

2. The France defender begins a three-match suspension on Saturday because of an altercation with Pablo Zabaleta. 這位法國(guó)后衛(wèi)因?yàn)榘筒剂_·薩巴萊塔發(fā)生沖突，他在周六開(kāi)始為期三場(chǎng)的停賽。

Alternation

alternation 不常用的單詞

Collins：successive change from one condition or action to another and back again repeatedly

Webster：the act or process of alternating or causing to alternate

這個(gè)詞的意思是“輪替、變換“，請(qǐng)注意這個(gè)詞暗含的那種”兩者（或數(shù)者）輪替，你來(lái)我往“的傾向。

例句：

1. Power alternation also polarizes debate.

2. It carries on, most of it, as though we are a relapse away from 1955 and the certainties of majority rule and party alternation.

另外，altercation和alternation都有各自的動(dòng)詞形式altercate和alternate，如：

1. Lets amount out if youre the appropriate being for this job afore we altercate how little you wish to be in the appointment.

2. The three acts will alternate as headliners throughout the tour.
