| 单词 | 同性恋 |
| 释义 | 〔gay〕The wordgay is now standard in its use to refer to the American homosexual community and its members;in this use it is generally lowercased.Gay is distinguished from homosexual in emphasizing the cultural and social aspects of homosexuality.Many writers reservegay for male homosexuals, but the word is also used to refer to homosexuals of both sexes;when the intended meaning is not clear in the context,the phrasegay and lesbian should be used. Like the other names of social groups that are derived from adjectives (e.g.,Black ), gay may be regarded as offensive when used as a noun to refer to particular individuals, as inThere were two gays on the panel; here a phrase such asgay people should be used instead. But there is no objection to the use of the noun in the pluralto refer to the general gay community,as inGays have united in opposition to the policy. See Usage Note at homosexual 单词gay 其用法已被普遍接受， 指的是美国的同性恋团体及其成员；在这种用法中，它一般小写。Gay 区别于 homosexual， 前者强调同性恋者的文化和社会方面。许多作家把gay 限定于男性同性恋者， 但这个单词也可用于指两种性别的同性恋者，当上下文的言外之意不太明确时，词组同性恋男性和同性恋女性 可以被使用。 就象其他从形容词派生来的社会群体名词一样（如，黑人 ）， gay 如果当作为一个名词使用，指一些特殊的个体时，可能会被认为带有攻击性， 如在There were two gays on the panel； 在此处应该用词组gay people 来代替。 但是并没有人反对其名词的复数形式，指一般的同性恋团体，如句子同性恋者们已经团结起来对抗政策 参见 homosexual〔lesbian〕Of, relating to, or being a lesbian.同性恋女子的：同性恋女子的、与同性恋女子有关的或作为同性恋女子的〔faggot〕Used as a disparaging term for a gay or homosexual man.男同性恋者，同性恋者：用作贬义，指同性恋者或男性同性恋〔Sapphic〕Often sapphic Of or relating to lesbianism. 常作 sapphic 女同性恋的：与女性同性恋有关的〔homophobia〕Aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture.同性恋恐怖症：对同性恋者或其文化或生活方式的厌恶〔inversion〕Used as a term for homosexuality.同性恋：用指同性恋的词条〔Mapplethorpe〕American artist whose controversial single-image black-and-white photographs often depict flowers, the human nude, and male homoeroticism.梅普尔索普，罗伯特：(1946-1989) 美国艺术家，他拍有不少有争议的单一影象的黑白照片，照片主要描写花朵、裸体和男子同性恋〔nance〕Used as a disparaging term for an effeminate man, especially a gay or homosexual man.女子气的男子，同性恋男子：用来指女子气男子的贬义词，尤指同性恋者或同性恋男子〔Rich〕American poet and essayist whose works, notablyDiving Into the Wreck (1973), concern radical feminism, lesbianism, and political activism. 瑞奇，阿德瑞：美国诗人与随笔作家，其著作涉及女权运动、女性同性恋关系和政治激进主义，主要作品为《跳入残骸》 （1973） 〔lesbianism〕Sexual orientation of women to other women.女性同性恋关系〔themed〕Some have criticized the network for rejecting two gay-themed commercials.Some have criticized the network for rejecting two gay-themed commercials（有些人已经针对拒绝两个同性恋广告的网络提出批评）。〔Kushner〕American playwright who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize forMillennium Approaches (1992), the first part of his trilogy Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. 库施纳，托尼：美国剧作家，因《千禧年近了》 （1992年）获普利策奖，这也是他的三部曲 《美国天使：全国性议题同性恋幻想曲》 的第一部 |
