长释义:
A scrupulous person is full of scruples, which are concerns about doing things that are morally right. Such a person is hesitant or doubtful, and might have trouble deciding what is morally right or wrong. The adjective scrupulous is from Latin scrūpulōsus, from scrūpulus, “scruple.” A near synonym is punctilious.
一个谨慎的人充满了顾忌,顾虑是做道德上正确的事情。这样的人犹豫不决或多疑,可能难以判断道德上的对错。形容词 scrupulous 来自拉丁语 scrūpulōsus,来自 scrūpulus,“顾忌”。近义词是 punctilious。
