【contempt】

今天的文章在談論-Leadership
一開始就講到這個貫穿全文的字「contempt」
contempt 是一個不可數的名詞，
根據Cambridge字典的解釋為：a strong feeling of disliking and having no respect for someone or something。

也會用在對法庭的藐視：be in contempt of court

常見的用法為：
hold sb/sth in contempt
= feel contempt for someone or something
= show contempt for sth/sb

本文例句：
1. It can come out of nowhere — a contempt attack.
2. Most leaders experience contempt attacks at one time or another, especially during times of crisis, uncertainty, and high stress.
3. Her eyes narrowed, and she leaned toward me with fury and contempt shooting out of every pore of her being.
