A dispute is often about a particular issue, such as who owns sth, or how much money sb should earn. A conflict often lasts a long time, and may be connected with wider issues such as power and religion. 一般说来，conflict比dispute严重。dispute常涉及具体问题，比如某物归谁所有或某人应获多少工资等。conflict常会持续很久，而且可能涉及更广泛的问题，如权力和宗教。■ controversy ˈkɒntrəvɜːsi, BrE also kənˈtrɒvəsi; NAmE ˈkɑːntrəvɜːrsi [uncountable, countable] (rather formal) public discussion and argument about sth that many people strongly disagree about, disapprove of, or are shocked by （公开的）争议，辩论，论战◆The President resigned amid continuing controversy.总统在持续不断的争议声中辞职了。◆A fierce controversy has broken out over the issue.关于这个问题爆发了一场激烈的论战。  see also controversial ⇨ controversial ■ disagreement [uncountable, countable] a situation in which people disagree about sth and often argue 意见不一；分歧；争论◆Disagreement arose about exactly how to plan the show.在究竟该如何具体地拟定演出计划的问题上出现了分歧。◆They have had several disagreements with their neighbours.他们跟邻居争吵过几次。OPP agreement ⇨ agreement 2   see also disagree ⇨ disagree verb ■ difference [countable] (rather formal) a disagreement between people 意见分歧；不和◆We have our differences, but she's still my sister.我们虽然有分歧，但她仍然是我妹妹。◆There was a difference of opinion over who had won.到底谁胜谁负，意见不一。  see also differ ⇨ disagree verb ⓘ Difference is used especially when people try to avoid getting angry or having a noisy argument, but still continue to disagree. It is also used when sb wants to suggest that there was no noisy argument, even if there was: There was a difference of opinion... can be a polite way of saying 'There was an argument/a fight...'. * difference尤用于设法避免动气或争吵但仍坚持不同意见的场合；该词还用于暗示没有发生争吵，即使真的发生了。There was a difference of opinion ...（存在着意见分歧）可用作There was an argument/a fight ...（发生了争吵）的委婉说法。■ war [countable, uncountable] (used in compounds 用于复合词) a situation in which there is aggressive competition between groups, companies or countries （群体、公司或国家之间的）竞争，斗争，对抗◆The US threatened a trade war with Europe after the breakdown of the talks.会谈破裂后，美国威胁说要与欧洲展开贸易战。◆The country seemed at times to be close to class war.有时候这个国家的阶级冲突似乎一触即发。■ dissent dɪˈsent [uncountable] (formal) the fact of having or expressing opinions that are different from those that are officially accepted （有别于官方说法的）不同意见，异议◆The authorities continue their suppression of political dissent.当局继续压制不同政见。OPP assent ⇨ approval ■ contention kənˈtenʃn [uncountable] (formal) angry or bad-tempered disagreement between people 争吵；争执；争论◆One area of contention is the availability of nursery places.争论的一个方面是幼儿园入园名额的问题。ⓘ A bone/point of contention is a subject that causes arguments or disagreement between people. * bone/point of contention指引起争论或争议的问题◆Privatization of the health service remains a point of contention.公共医疗服务私有化的问题仍然备受争议。
