resistance

Compared meaning: opposition or resistance to something (noun).

比较义项：反抗、反对（某事）（名词）。

• resistance 本词

  Broader in scope: can be a physical force opposing motion (a door, a lock, wind) or an abstract reluctance to change; pairs with verbs like "meet" or "offer"; not limited to people's opinions.

  含义更广：既可以是物体运动受到的物理阻力（如门、锁、风），也可以是对变化的抽象抵触；常与“遇到”“产生”等动词搭配，不限于人的意见。

  The rusty old lock offered a lot of resistance before it finally turned.

  这把生锈的旧锁在最终转动之前产生了很大的阻力。

• opposition

  Narrower: specifically strong disagreement or objection from people, usually toward a plan, policy, or proposal; expressed by voicing disapproval, not by physical force.

  含义更窄：特指人们（针对计划、政策或提案）表达的强烈不赞同；表现为公开表达反对意见，而非物理力量。

  The proposal met fierce opposition from parents who feared it would raise fees.

  这项提案遭到了担心费用会上涨的家长们的强烈反对。

Resistance and opposition both mean being against something. Resistance is broader: a physical force, like wind or a lock, or a general unwillingness to change. Opposition is people openly disagreeing, especially with a plan or policy. Resistance can also mean electrical resistance, not compared.

这两个词都表示对某事的“反对”，但resistance范围更广，既可以是物体运动受到的物理阻力，也可以是抽象的抵触情绪；opposition则特指人们（尤其针对计划、政策）公开表达的强烈不赞同。这里不比较resistance的“电阻”义，也不比较opposition作为“反对党”（政治团体）的用法。
