“sentiment”可以是可數名詞也可以是不可數名詞悄晃，意思是“情緒靴姿、觀點”。英英釋義：an opinion or feeling you have about something. 一般來說琢歇，如果 sentiment 前面的修飾詞是 popular 或 public焚碌，那么它就是不可數名詞畦攘，表示大眾意見。其他語境下十电，sentiment 多作為可數名詞使用知押。這個詞的用法比較正式，可以替換 feeling, opinion 和 view鹃骂，因此是英文辯論台盯、演講和議論文寫作的必備單詞。
例句:
① 絕大部分的民眾支持經濟改革畏线，我們一般會說：
a) The majority of people support economic reform.
b) Most people are in favor of economic reform.
c) Public opinion favors economic reform.

A few years ago China saw a great wave of anti-Japanese sentiments.
③ 類似的蒿叠，特朗普代表了一部分美國人的反移民情緒明垢，我們就可以說：
Trump's anti-immigrant sentiments are shared by some Americans.
