Noun:
a privileged class holding hereditary titlesthe most powerful members of a society发音释义：,ærɪ'stɒkrəsɪ n.贵族政治；贵族统治；精英政治
结构分析：aristocracy = aristo精英+cracy统治→精英统治→贵族统治
词源解释：aristo←希腊语aristos最好的；cracy←希腊语kratos统治
背景知识：古希腊时期的杰出哲学家苏格拉底主张专家治国论，认为国家应该由经过训练、有知识才干的人来治理，反对通过抽签选举法实行的民主。后来，苏格拉底被雅典公民大会以崇拜新神和腐蚀青年思想的罪名判处死刑。苏格拉底死于雅典的民主政体下，使得苏格拉底的学生柏拉图进一步加强了对雅典民主政体的怀疑。因此，柏拉图提出了“精英治国”的观点，即应该由最杰出的精英来治理国家，而不是普通百姓直接参与国家治理。这就是近代“代议制民主”思想的萌芽。在希腊语中，“精英治国”称为aristokratia，由aristos最好的+kratos统治构成。这就是英语单词aristocracy的来源。后来在中古时期，由于贵族阶层nobility往往以社会精英自居，因此“贵族统治”也被称为aristocracy。
