reformer和reformist 仅从noun角度看，似乎挺像，很多学习词典的解释也是把两种混淆，ODE的解释：supporting or advocating gradual reform rather than abolition or revolution 强调渐进改良 ，而牛高的解释 wanting or trying to change political or social situations，似乎是泛指，和reformer差不多。但最后OED给出的解释说明：reformist既可以等同于广义的reformer，也可以专指那种改良主义的reformer：An advocate or supporter of political or social reform; (in later use) spec. (esp. in communist theory) one who advocates gradual reform rather than abolition or revolution 不仅点明2个含义都有，还点明了使用时间和场合，OED确实厉害，疑惑最后的判官，这帮编辑很专业、很严谨。其他词典应该好好学习。其实也就是个总结资料的活，干得很不让人满意。
