clamor
1、 Noisy shouting; loud, continuous noise.
2、 Strong and active protest or demand.
🌱The clamor in the hallways between classes was particularly loud that morning as news of the state championship swept through the student body. 🌳The clamor on Broadway at midday can be astonishing to a tourist from a midwestern town; if they happen to be digging up the street with jackhammers, the clamor can be even worse. The clamor on the floor of a stock exchange goes on without stopping for seven hours every day. A clamor of protest may sometimes be quieter, but is often just as hard to ignore. A politican who receives a thousand e-mails a day clamoring for his resignation might as well be listening to an angry crowd. acclamation 1、 A loud, eager indication of approval, praise, or agreement.
2、 An overwhelming yes vote by cheers, shouts, or applause.
🌱To the principal's suggestion that Friday be a holiday to honor the victors in the national math olympics, the students yelled their approval in a long and loud acclamation. 🌳Approval can come from a single person, but acclamation requires a larger audience. An acclaimed movie is widely praised, and critical acclaim can lead to box-office success. When a popular proposal comes up in a legislature, the speaker may ask that it be passed "by acclamation," which means that everyone just gets to yell and cheer in approval and no one bothers counting the votes at all. declaim To speak in the formal manner of someone delivering a speech.
🌱Almost any opinion can sound convincing if it's declaimed loudly and with conviction. 🌳Declaiming suggests an unnatural style of speech best suited to a stage or podium. Listening to an actor declaim a passage in a Shakespeare play can be enjoyable. Listening to Aunt Ida at Sunday dinner declaiming on the virtues of roughage might not be. Most people don't appreciate being treated as an audience, and good advice is usually more welcome when it's not given in a declamatory style. proclaim To declare or announce publicly, officially, or definitely.
🌱He burst into the dorm room, jumped onto his bed, and proclaimed that he had just aced the sociology exam. 🌳The pro- in proclaim means "forward, out," so a proclamation is an "outward" statement intended for the public. We often think of proclamations as something issued by monarchs or dictators, but Lincoln was able to issue his Emancipation Proclamation because as president he had the power to free the slaves in certain areas. At a slightly lower level, a governor may proclaim a day in honor of the state's firemen, a movie critic may proclaim a director to be the best of all, or you may proclaim your New Year's resolutions to a crowd of friends.
