definatory

形容词 adj.

英文释义

形容词 adj.
  1. Defining or implying.
    — Thus, it is urged, we identify which emotion one has by whether one has a belief that is definatory of that emotion (and which, depending on one's view, either causes or is “internally related” to the arousal): a belief that the situation is dangerous marks the emotion as fear, a belief that one has been wronged marks it as anger, and so on.
  2. Providing a final judgement or conclusion.
    — "That's 10-4, good buddy. Wall to wall and ten feet tall. You got draggin' wagon here going south on Eye-Two-Five. How's it look over your shoulder? Come on." "There's a 10-46 in the fifty-dollar lane north of Mile High City. Better bring yourself on up. Come on." "Definatory, good buddy. I'll put the pedal to the metal and 10-41 Channel 9. Eighty-eight and we gonna back 'em on out now, Roller."
