  1. 主语必须是人:prejudiced 只能用来形容人,不能形容事物

    比如可以说 “a prejudiced man”(一个有偏见的人)
    但不能说 “a prejudiced idea”(正确表达是 “an idea based on prejudice”)。
  2. 固定介词搭配:和 prejudiced 搭配的介词是 against 或 about,不能用 “to” 或 “for”。

prejudice [ˈpredʒədɪs]
n.偏见;成见
v.损害;使怀有(或产生)偏见;有损于

源自拉丁语 “praejudicium”,由前缀 prae-(预先) + 词根 “judicium”(判断)构成。

字面意思是“提前做出的判断”,核心语义围绕 “未经过客观了解就产生的偏向性看法” 展开,带有贬义色彩。
