antithetical
意味: Directly opposed or contrasted; mutually incompatible in principle, character, or tendency.
Antithetical is a formal way of saying that two things are fundamentally at odds with each other. It is stronger than 'different' or 'contrary,' implying that the two positions are logically irreconcilable. The word derives from the rhetorical device of antithesis, in which contrasting ideas are juxtaposed for effect. In academic and journalistic writing, it typically appears in the construction 'antithetical to.' It collocates with 'antithetical to,' 'diametrically antithetical,' 'antithetical positions,' and 'antithetical values.'
