"criticize" 的意思是不贊成某事或某人。這並非總是負面的含義,"constructive criticism (建設性批評)" 就被視為是正面的。 例句: She keeps criticizing me on how I do my job. (她一直批評我的工作方式。=> 負面含義) 例句: My coworkers always criticize the manager, but they don't know how hard the job can be. (我的同事總在批評經理,但他們不知道這項工作有多難。=> 負面含義) 例句: She gave me constructive criticism on my weight-lifting form. (她對我的舉重姿勢提出了建設性批評。=> 正面含義) "condemn" 是指以嚴厲的方式訓斥或宣判某人,永遠都是負面含義。 例句: He was condemned to his fate. (他被宣判了命運。) 例句: Jacob condemned Mary for her horrible action. (雅各譴責瑪麗的可怕行為。) 例句: The house is so crappy, it's been condemned. (房子太爛,被指責了。)
