Contempt, scorn and disdain put the emphasis on showing that you have no respect for sb/sth rather than laughing at them. Contempt suggests a strong feeling of dislike. Disdain and scorn involve rejecting sth because it is not good enough. Disdain suggests a sense of your own superiority; a person's scorn for sth is often shown by the things they say. Mockery, ridicule and derision put the emphasis on making sb/sth look silly. Mockery and ridicule invite other people to laugh at sb/sth. Derision is a more formal word and emphasizes that sth is being greeted with laughter because it is not worth taking seriously. * contempt、scorn和disdain強調表現得不尊重，而非嘲笑。contempt意味着強烈的厭惡感覺。scorn和disdain意味着因某物不夠好而排斥它。disdain有自覺高人一等的意味。scorn常通過語言表現。mockery、ridicule和derision強調使某人或某事物看上去很可笑。mockery和ridicule表示使之在他人眼中也顯得可笑。derision是較爲正式的詞，強調某事物不值得認真對待而一笑置之。
