sanction
英 ['sæŋ(k)ʃ(ə)n]
美 ['sæŋkʃən]
- n. 制裁，处罚；认可；支持
- vt. 制裁，处罚；批准；鼓励
助记提示
1. The root / stem sanct- has meaning of 'ordaining of something as sacred or inviolable', hence more broadly a 'decree, sanction'.
2. => 依法...(prescribe by law) => 宣布针对某种行为的法律。=> 因此如果某种行为是合法的，就会得到支持、鼓励、批准、认可(常与with，without连用)，不可数名词；如果某种行为是违法的，那么就会被制裁、处罚(常与against，on连用)，可数名词，常用复数。
