As verbs the difference between rebuke and reprimand is that rebuke is to criticise harshly; to reprove while reprimand is to reprove in a formal or official way


Rebuke는 거친 비판인 반면에 reprimand는 엄중하고 형식적이고 공식적인 질첵이다. 설명을 보니 reprimand가 신사적인 질첵이라는 느낌이 들었다. 하지만 아직 두 단어의 명확한 차이가 느껴지지 않았다. 좀 더 구글링을 해보았다.

Rebuke is basically a scolding of a higher intensity. You can rebuke pretty much anyone (if you’re audacious enough). Reprimand is used when you formally rebuke someone. It might be your employee, an apprentice, your colleague, anyone with whom you share formal connections (and reprimand him in a formal manner).

rebuke는 좀 더 범용적인 질책으로 어떠한 상황에서도 사용이 가능한 단어이지만 reprimand는 공식적이고 형식적인 특별한 상황에서의 질책을 할 때 사용한 다는 느낌이 들었다. 예제를 살펴보았을 때 rebuke는 좀 더 자유롭게 사용하지만 reprimand는 특정 상황에 선호되는 느낌을 받았다. 다음 인용문에서 그 느낌을 설명해주는 것 같다.
