counteract

Esimerkkilauseet

We hope to be able to develop a common strategy over the next few weeks in order to counteract this.

demur

oppose

Esimerkkilauseet

I oppose it for two reasons.

I believe that nobody can rationally oppose this.

We have a speaker to oppose the motion.

We do not, in principle, oppose this industry.

13707 We should therefore totally oppose this report.

protest

Esimerkkilauseet

The protest was vociferous.

I have a lot of sympathy with that protest.

I was simply making a protest about the electronics here.

Let me register my protest against this decision.

I did not even receive a courtesy reply to my protest.

contest

Esimerkkilauseet

I contest the point made about the views expressed during that visit as being particularly extreme.

offend

Esimerkkilauseet

14750 Their avowed concern is not to   'offend any sensibilities'  .

antagonize

contravene

Esimerkkilauseet

I am not suggesting that we contravene legislation.

3571 Nor would they contravene the agreements which will remain in force until a final agreement is reached.

They sign international conventions, which they struggle to implement and then contravene.

defy

Esimerkkilauseet

I defy anyone to disagree with that.

The things which happened truly defy description.

dissent

Esimerkkilauseet

You are more familiar than I am with the various points of dissent.

except

Esimerkkilauseet

Except that they do nothing.

Charity begins everywhere except at home.

Compromise is possible almost everywhere, except here.

Except that there is no cure here.

They were all rejected except for one.

object

Esimerkkilauseet

They object to family unity.

I object to this line of reasoning.

No one can possibly object to that.

I object to this practice and will vote against it.

And we do not object to the setting of specific priorities for development.

opposite

Esimerkkilauseet

Experience suggests the opposite.

I maintain the exact opposite.

Quite the opposite is true.

However the opposite also exists, i.

The opposite is true of course.

resist

Esimerkkilauseet

We will resist this forcefully.

However, you must resist the temptation to let things stagnate until then.

The old structures resist the due process of justice.

We must use it in such a way as to resist its being watered down by do - gooders.

I think that there really is a democratic deficit and that we must resist a hard core.
