这两个词都是动词 to arm的派生词,由过去分词armed加否定前缀 dis-,un-而成,可是它们的涵义并不相同。 disarmed: 意思是“被解除武装的”(be taken away all one's weapons),例如: disarmed rebels、disarmed captives、disarmed regiments、disarmed bandits. 有时,disarmed亦可用作譬喻意义,如:disarmed by a smile(one's charming manner or smart dress)。
the police are cross-questioning the disarmed bandits. 警方正在讯问那些被缴械的匪徒。
the disamed rebels are given a reprieve. 被缴械的叛乱份子获缓刑。
