Bad def, since "contempt" is not a verb!

轻蔑 is used as a stative verb (adjective) and as a noun, but usage as a transitive verb (like "to disdain") seems very limited, and possibly incorrect.

Ex:
1. Stative verb (adjective) usage:
- 從父母口中才知道這是一種輕蔑的稱呼。
I didn't realize that these were derogatory terms until my parents told me.
- 甚至在網站上留下:「黃百樂人格特質有問題」等輕蔑的字眼。
Someone even questioned my character online.

2. Noun usage
- 「我們言辭中沒有輕蔑和不屑」。
"We didn't use disrespectful language."
- 每次遇到多事的鄰居補上一句:「她是印尼來的」,那語氣裡或多或少夾帶輕蔑,母親總是能妙語化解,讓對方當下一愣,甚至無話可說,再也不敢招惹「印尼來的」。
Diff:
- 輕蔑 轻蔑 [qing1 mie4] /to contempt/to disdain/pejorative/
+ 輕蔑 轻蔑 [qing1 mie4] /scornful; disdainful; contemptuous; pejorative/disdain; contempt/
