意味
To cause distrust, wariness, or a lack of confidence.
文化的背景
In French intellectual life, 'la méfiance' is often linked to 'le doute méthodique' of Descartes. It's seen as a prerequisite for truth. In Quebec, the phrase is used similarly but might be followed by more direct, informal expressions of doubt in social settings. In international relations, 'susciter la méfiance' is a coded way of saying a country is violating a treaty without making a formal accusation. French companies are often hierarchical; a subordinate who asks too many questions might 'susciter la méfiance' of a traditional manager.
