英语词汇“statute”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

nadj

A statute is a formal law or rule. Whether it's enacted by a government, company, or other organization, a statute is typically written down.

Local governments can pass all kinds of statutes, or written laws, to govern their citizens. A city's government might try to restrict the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public, or make it illegal to pet cats on the weekends. Of course, silly statutes like no cat-petting on weekends can be pretty hard to pass.

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS

statue / statute

Look under the pigeons and you might find a bronze statue in a park, but there's probably a statute, or law, about how big it can be.

A statue is a figure of a person, animal, or object that is carved or cast from some material, such as marble or iron. A statue is usually life-sized or larger. (If it's smaller than the real-life original, it's a statuette or a figurine). Here are some examples of statue in the headlines:

Bronze statue unveiled in tribute to Ronnie Barker (Mirror UK)

Rosa Parks statue dedicated in downtown Grand Rapids (Michigan Live)

But a statute is a written law, such as that of a particular government or organization:

Fifteen other states and the District of Columbia have since enacted similar statutes, though cannabis remains classified as an illegal narcotic under U.S. law. (Reuters)

All were also discharged within the past six years, putting them within the statute of limitations. (New York Times)

Both words come from the Latin word "to stand," but a statue literally stands, often on two legs, and a statute is a law that stands. So while you might find a statue in the park of, say, Jimi Hendrix, it's the statutes about that park that allow a monument to the rock star to be erected there.
