基本释义
[noun] a short argument, especially between political opponents
[名词] （尤指政治上对立双方的）小争执，小争论
深入解读
skirmish本义指小规模的军事战斗，一般参与的战斗人员比较少，持续时间比较短，往往也没有经过详细计划，并且远离战争主战场，比如巷战可以说“a street skirmish”。虽然这个单词听起来很轻，像是一阵微风吹起灰尘，但skirmish造成的人员伤亡一般也不小。在日常生活中，skirmish多引申指在政治上对立双方的小争执或小争论。此外，skirmish也可以作动词表示“发生小规模战斗、遭遇战”或“发生小争论”。
影视用例
