听力原文

我们在英文中见过不少以ist结尾的单词,比如racist(种族主义者)、materialist(唯物主义者)等。这些单词指代的人群通常都对某一事物或理念,如race(种族)或material(物质)怀有坚定的或固执的认识和想法。今天,我们就为这个ist词汇家族新添一位成员吧。
Placist is a person who discriminates against other people based on where the other people live, or who holds strong negative or positive feelings toward a certain place based on loose stereotypes.

Placist(地域主义者)
指因他人的居住地而对其抱有歧视态度的人,或者指因为某些毫无根据的固有印象而对某个地方抱有强烈的否定或肯定态度的人。

For example:

Ashlyn is such a placist. She thinks that everybody who lives in Florida is old, senile, plays golf all day and is a terrible driver.

阿什琳真是有地域偏见。她觉得佛罗里达州的每个人都老态龙钟,整天打高尔夫,而且开车技术很差劲。
