A conflict often lasts a long time, and may be connected with wider issues such as power and religion.一般说来,conflict比dispute严重。dispute常涉及具体问题,比如某物归谁所有或某人应获多少工资等。conflict常会持续很久,而且可能涉及更广泛的问题,如权力和宗教。■controversy ˈkɒntrəvɜːsi, BrE also kənˈtrɒvəsi; NAmEˈkɑːntrəvɜːrsi [uncountable, countable] (ratherformal) public discussion and argument about sth that many people strongly disagree about, disapprove of, or are shocked by(公开的)争议,辩论,论战◆The President resigned amid continuing controversy.总统在持续不断的争议声中辞职了。◆A fierce controversy has broken out over the issue.关于这个问题爆发了一场激烈的论战。 see also controversial ⇨ controversial■disagreement [uncountable, countable] a situation in which people disagree about sth and often argue意见不一;分歧;争论◆Disagreement arose about exactly how to plan the show.在究竟该如何具体地拟定演出计划的问题上出现了分歧。◆They have had several disagreements with their neighbours.他们跟邻居争吵过几次。OPPagreement ⇨ agreement2 see also disagree ⇨ disagreeverb■difference [countable] (ratherformal) a disagreement between people意见分歧;不和◆We have our differences, but she's still my sister.我们虽然有分歧,但她仍然是我妹妹。◆There was a difference of opinion over who had won.到底谁胜谁负,意见不一。 see also differ ⇨ disagreeverbⓘ Difference is used especially when people try to avoid getting angry or having a noisy argument, but still continue to disagree.
