胁迫；强迫

noun /dur-RESS/ [dʊˈres]

What It Means

Duress, which is typically used with under, refers to force or threats meant to make someone do something. It is used especially of unlawful constraint.

Duress通常与under一起使用，指武力或威胁使某人做某事。 它特别用于非法约束。

DURESS in Context

"The ordinance ... was passed under duress by council members who believed that it would never be implemented." — Gilbert Garcia, The San Antonio (Texas) Express-News Online, 20 May 2022

“该法令……是曾认为它永远不会实施的议会成员，在胁迫下通过的。”

The defense asserts that the defendant's confession was made under duress.

辩方称，被告人的供词是在胁迫下作出的。

Did You Know?

Duress is most often paired with the word under to refer to force or threats meant to make someone do something. For example, someone forced to sign a document signs it “under duress,” and a person held “under duress” is not free to leave but is being constrained, usually unlawfully. (Do not confuse being “under duress” with being “under stress,” which is a much more common occurrence.) Duress is ultimately from Latin durus, meaning "hard," source too of durable and endure.

胁迫常与under 配对，指的是迫使某人做某事的武力或威胁。 例如，在胁迫下，迫使人签署文件，同时被迫人受到限制不能自由离开，通常是非法的。 （不要将“under duress”与“under stress”混为一谈，尽管这是一种更为常见的情况。）Duress 最终是来自拉丁语 durus，意思是“hard”，也是耐用和持久的来源。
