speak up意思是提高声音的音量,也可以用来表示对某事发表意见。另一方面, speak/talk down有完全不同的含义。这意味着以粗鲁和不尊重的方式与某人交谈。示例: It's great that many celebrities are speaking up about sexual harassment and abuse in the industry. (很高兴很多名人都在发声反对娱乐业的性骚扰和性侵犯。) -> 发表意见,支持行动 示例: I don't like one of my classmates. She's always talking down to others. (我不喜欢我的一个同学,因为他总是说别人。)
