disbelief(n.)
"积极的不信仰,对要求相信的陈述或断言的精神拒绝," 1670年代; 参见 dis- + belief。一种拉丁-日耳曼混合语。
Disbelief is more commonly used to express an active mental opposition which does not imply a blameworthy disregard of evidence. Unbelief may be a simple failure to believe from lack of evidence or knowledge; but its theological use has given it also the force of wilful opposition to the truth. [Century Dictionary, 1897]
Disbelief 更常用于表达积极的精神反对,不意味着对证据的不负责任的忽视。 Unbelief 可能是由于缺乏证据或知识而简单地不相信; 但它的神学用途也赋予了它故意反对真理的力量。[世纪词典,1897年]
