In such contextsJewish is the only acceptable possibility. But some people have become so wary of this constructionthat they have overgeneralized the anathema to any use of the noun,a practice that carries risks of its own.In a sentence such asThere are now several Jews on the council, which is unexceptionable, the substitution of a circumlocution likeJewish people or persons of Jewish background may unwittingly suggest an unwarranted and hence suspect delicacy.通常认为名词Jew 用作定语的用法是无礼的和粗俗的,例如 犹太人律师 或 犹太种族 。 在这样的上下文中,Jewish 是唯一可能被接受的。 但一些人对这种构词方式已变得极为小心,以至他们将针对这个名词任何用法上的厌恶过于一般化,这是一种给这个词带来危险的作法。例这句话在现在的内阁里有一些犹太人 就是无懈可击的, 一种迂回的替换说法象犹太人 或 有犹太背景的人 可以无意之中表明这只是一个未证实的事, 因此只是一种微妙的猜测 |
