anticommunist
反共産主義の
/ noun 名詞 反共産主義者解説 Definition
思想・政策・報道姿勢などが共産主義に批判的、またはそれを抑えようとする性質を表します。人を指す名詞 anticommunist と違い、政党の綱領、演説、宣伝、外交方針に付けて「反共産主義的な」と形容します。
Anticommunist describes ideas, policies, speeches, or media positions that oppose communism or try to limit its influence. It is usually used as an adjective before nouns such as party platform, campaign, law, or foreign policy. Unlike the noun anticommunist, which refers to a person, this adjective describes something as politically critical of communism.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
anticommunist は anti-「反対の」+ communist「共産主義者・共産主義の」から成る形容詞です。an anticommunist policy や anticommunist movement のように、共産主義の思想・政党・体制に反対する立場を表します。単なる noncommunist「共産主義でない」と違い、積極的な反対姿勢が核です。
Break the word into anti- and communist. The prefix anti- means "against," so anticommunist literally means "against communism." This makes it easy to remember when you see it describing a policy, speech, or political position.
