The central meaning shared by these verbs is “to influence unfavorably or detrimentally”: 这些词共同的中心意思是“不利或有害地影响”： bitterness that has warped your judgment. See also Synonyms at &b{incline} ,&b{predilection} 痛苦影响了你的判断 参见同义词 incline,predilection用法:In its sense of “a preference or an inclination,”bias can, in principle, be used with equal appropriateness for an inclination that is beneficial or for one that is adverse. But in a development similar to the one undergone bydiscrimination, bias has come to be used most commonly when it is believed that some injustice is involved. Thus, 90 percent of the Usage Panel accepts the sentence The court's ruling provided a strong endorsement of affirmative action programs as a means to counter the effect of decades of racial bias in police hiring practices. Moreover, it has become increasingly acceptable to usebias to refer not just to an unfair preference but to an unfair act or policy based on such a preference, as in “The report also notes ‘remarkably consistent’ biases in administration R&D budget requests. These included emphasis on military R&D and civil basic research” (Christian Science Monitor).在表示“偏向或倾向”时，bias 主要可能用来表示一种有利的或不利的倾向。 但当其发展到与discrimination意思相近时， bias就更主要地用来表示不公正的倾向。 因此，百分之九十的用法使用小组成员都接受下面的句子： “法庭的裁决有力支持了把反歧视行动做为一种手段，以纠正几十年来在警察聘任上的种族偏见”。 不仅如此，bias 一词不仅越来越多地用于表示一种不公正的倾向，而且更多地用来表示一种对于不公正倾向而产生的不公正行为或政策， 如下句：“报告还提到在制定研究与发展预算申请中的‘异常一贯的’偏见。 这包括强调军队研究与发展和民用基础研究” （《基督教箴言报》） |
