4.形容詞C1
釋義

本質上

依其本質當然構成

describing something that is automatically considered a certain way by its very nature or by settled legal doctrine, without needing to be compared to outside facts or circumstances.

例句

Price-fixing is a perse antitrust violation because the agreement itself is harmful.

競爭者之間的價格固定屬於本質上的反托拉斯違法行為,因為該協議本身即具有危害性。

perse violation — classic antitrust usage

The court classified the restraint as perse unreasonable, rejecting a market analysis.

法院將該項貿易限制歸類為本質上不合理,無須進行市場分析。

同義詞
  • by itself

    a less formal equivalent; 'by itself illegal' captures the same idea without legal jargon.

  • intrinsically

    similar concept but broader; 'intrinsically harmful' does not imply a specific legal test.

  • facially

    close legal synonym; 'facially invalid' means the problem is clear from the text alone.

反義詞
  • rule of reason

    a legal standard that requires a full factual inquiry rather than a categorical rule.

  • context-dependent

    requiring analysis of surrounding circumstances instead of a summary judgment based on inherent characteristics.

文法句型

perse + noun / be + perse

用法筆記

Distinguish from sense 2 (BY OPERATION OF LAW): sense 4 emphasizes the inherent character or nature of the thing itself (e.g., price-fixing is perse harmful), whereas sense 2 emphasizes the legal rule that produces the effect (e.g., late filing is perse void because the statute says so).

常見錯誤

His behavior was perse rude.
The merger was not perse anticompetitive.
💡'perse' in this sense belongs in formal legal or doctrinal analysis, not in everyday descriptions of behavior.
