Examples

"Throughout a long career, [Lawrence Ferlinghetti] showed courage, taste and willingness to put up with sometimes obstreperous writers for the sake of literature. He first won widespread renown by publishing Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl' and defending the book in a court case in 1957 when it was declared obscene." — Benjamin Ivry, The Forward (New York), 24 Feb. 2021

在整个漫长的职业生涯中，[Lawrence Ferlinghetti]表现出勇气，品位和为文学意愿忍受而有时成为任性的作家。 他首先出版了Allen Ginsberg’s 'Howl'，并在1957年为宣布低俗的该本书在法庭上辩护，从而赢得了广泛的声誉。”

"In Hollywood, [Eugene DeMarco] had gained renown as a barnstorming stunt pilot in films and commercials…… Within the small but global community of antique-aviation buffs, he continues to be held in awe, considered by many to be the most accomplished flier of dangerously obstreperous World War I airplanes." — Marc Wortman, Vanity Fair, March 2021

Did You Know?

The handy Latin prefix ob-, meaning "in the way," "against," or "toward," occurs in many Latin and English words. Obstreperous comes from ob- plus strepere, a verb meaning "to make a noise," so someone who is obstreperous can be thought of as literally making noise to rebel against something, much like a protesting crowd or an unruly child. The word has been used in English since around the beginning of the 17th century. Strepere has had a limited impact on the English lexicon; in addition to obstreperous it seems only to have contributed strepitous and its synonym strepitant, which mean "characterized or accompanied by much noise"—that is, "noisy." Ob- words, on the other hand, abound, and include such terms as obnoxious, occasion, offend, omit, oppress, and oust.

The handy Latin prefix ob-，意为“in the way「在途中」”、“against「反对」”或“toward「朝向」”，出现在许多拉丁语和英语中。动词obstreperous 来自ob-和strepere，意思是“ to make a noise「制造噪音」”，所以Obstreperous可以被认为是making noise to rebel against something「制造事端反抗某事」，就像a protesting crowd「一群抗议的人群」或an unruly child「一个任性的孩子」。这个词大约从17世纪初开始在英语使用。Strepere 对英语的影响有限；除了obstreperous之外，它似乎只带来了 strepitous 和它的同义词 strepitant ，意思是“characterized or accompanied by much noise「有很多噪音或伴随着很多噪音」”，也就是“noisy「嘈杂的，吵闹的」”。另一方面，Ob-词有很多，包括：obnosity, occasion, offense, omit, oppress 和 oust。
