adj. 忠实的；顺从的；守本分的
同义词：

短释义：
Are you a dutiful person? If you are, then you do as you’re told, out of a feeling of duty and obligation. Dutiful children know this means cleaning one’s room, taking out the trash, and not talking back!
你是一个尽职尽责的人吗？如果你是，那么你就按照你的吩咐去做，出于责任和义务的感觉。孝顺的孩子知道这意味着打扫房间，倒垃圾，不顶嘴！
长释义：
The adjective dutiful is often used to describe obedient children, servants, and soldiers, as well as anyone else who willingly obeys orders. Not surprisingly, dutiful can also have a somewhat negative meaning. For example, if your graduation speaker gives a painfully boring address, you may respond with "dutiful applause" when it’s over. That means you are clapping out of a sense of duty and respect, not because you thought the speech was any good.
形容词“尽职尽责”通常用于描述听话的孩子、仆人和士兵，以及任何愿意服从命令的人。毫不奇怪，尽职尽责也可能具有某种负面的含义。例如，如果你的毕业演讲者发表了一个令人痛苦无聊的演讲，你可能会在演讲结束时以“尽职尽责的掌声”回应。这意味着你鼓掌是出于一种责任感和尊重感，而不是因为你认为演讲有什么好处。
文学例句：
But soon our great country shall prevail and the dutiful will stand on pedestals of honor.
但很快我们伟大的国家就会获胜，尽职尽责的人将站在荣誉的宝座上。
