| 释义 | 〔dyke〕Used as a disparaging term for a lesbian.对女同性恋者的无礼称呼〔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〔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〔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〔lez〕Used as a disparaging term for a lesbian.用于对女同性恋者贬义说法〔heterosexism〕Discrimination or prejudice against gay or homosexual people by heterosexual people.异性恋主义：异性恋者对同性恋者的歧视或偏见〔homophile〕Being actively concerned with the rights and welfare of gay or homosexual people.积极关心同性恋者权利和福利的〔homo〕Used as a disparaging term for a gay or homosexual person.对同性恋者的蔑称〔homosexual〕A homosexual person; a gay man or a lesbian.同性恋者：男同性恋者或女同性恋者〔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〔invert〕Used as a term for a homosexual person.同性恋者：用指同性恋者的术语〔gay〕Of, relating to, or sharing the lifestyle and concerns of the homosexual community.同性恋的：有关或与同性恋者的生活方式或问题有联系的，具有同性恋者的生活方式的〔queer〕Used as a disparaging term for a gay or homosexual person.用来指同性恋者的贬蔑语〔fag〕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者 |
