维基上这么说:
反美是对
美国的
政府、
人民或者其生活方式的强烈反感甚至作出
武力报复。仅仅对美国的政策或者上述任何单一的一个原因并不能称为反美主义,只是一种
反美情绪。只有当个人或团体将这些因素看成是普遍到已经影响其本身的价值观时才称为反美主义,而作出武力报复的更多演变成
反美主义。
反美主义包含了很多其他内容,例如
政治(反
帝国主义),
经济(反
资本主义),
宗教(反
基督教或反
世俗),
文化(反
好莱坞)或者
道德(反对西方的价值观)。不论是美国人还是非美国人都有可能有反美主义倾向。
进入20世纪60年代后,反美主义大多数是对
大美国主义、
美国文化、经济等各方面
帝国主义侵略的不满。
Anti-Americanism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term
anti-Americanism, or
anti-American sentiment, refers to opposition or hostility to the policies, culture, economics or international role of the United States. Common contemporary negative
stereotypes of
Americans include that Americans are:
aggressive,
arrogant,
ignorant,
imperialistic,
know-it-alls, loudmouthed,
militaristic, obsessed with making money rather than making friends, too
moralistic,
obnoxious, and that many Americans are overweight.

Political scientist Brendan O'Connor suggests that Anti-Americanism cannot be isolated as a consistent phenomenon and that the term originated as a rough composite of stereotypes, prejudices and criticisms towards Americans or the United States, evolving to more politically-based criticism. French scholar Marie-France Toinet says use of the term "is only fully justified if it implies systematic opposition a sort of allergic reaction to America as a whole."
[2]
Discussions on anti-Americanism have in most cases lacked a precise definition of what the sentiment entails (other than a general disfavor), which has led to the term being used broadly and in an impressionistic manner, resulting in the inexact impressions of the many expressions described as anti-American.
