单词辨析 | conscious,conscience

本次我们来辨别2个单词,它们分别是:

  • conscious
  • conscience

第1个单词:conscious

美音:/ˈkɑːnʃəs/,英音:/ˈkɒnʃəs/
含义:adj. 意识到的;神志清醒的,有知觉的;关注的;刻意的,慎重的
网络含义:自觉

英文短含义:Conscious is an adjective that simply means alert and awake. If you fall from a tree and smack your head on the side of the wheelbarrow, there’s a good chance you won’t be conscious afterward./

Conscious 是一个形容词,仅表示警觉和清醒。如果你从树上掉下来,头撞到独轮车的一侧,你很有可能会失去知觉。

英文长含义:Conscious is a Latin word whose original meaning was “knowing” or “aware.” So a conscious person has an awareness of her environment and her own existence and thoughts. If you’re “self-conscious,” you’re overly aware and even embarrassed by how you think you look or act. But that sounds better than being unconscious, or totally unaware and out of it.

Conscious 是一个拉丁词,其原意是“知道”或“意识到”。因此,一个有意识的人对她的环境以及她自己的存在和思想都有意识。如果你有“自我意识”,你就会过度意识到自己的外表或行为,甚至会感到尴尬。但这听起来总比无意识或完全不知道和不知道要好。

例句1:Presently I stood within that clean, bright kitchen—on the very hearth—trembling, sickening; conscious of an aspect in the last degree ghastly, wild, and weather-beaten.
不久,我站在那个干净明亮的厨房里——就在壁炉边——颤抖着,令人作呕;意识到最后一层可怕、狂野和饱经风霜的一面。
– from Jane Eyre

例句2:“They are calling it a massive stroke. We’re lucky he didn’t die. But he’s still not conscious yet, so we don’t know how it has affected him.”
“他们称之为大规模中风。我们很幸运他没有死。但他还没有意识,所以我们不知道这对他有什么影响。”
– from Finding Junie Kim

例句3:Several people who remained conscious throughout, while appearing to have been quite dead, could only describe a remarkable sensation of detachment.
几个一直保持清醒的人,虽然看起来已经死了,但只能描述一种非凡的超然感。
– from The Lives of a Cell

第2个单词:conscience

美音:/ˈkɑːnʃəns/,英音:/ˈkɒnʃəns/
含义:n. 良知,良心;内疚,愧疚
网络含义:良心

英文短含义:A conscience is a built-in sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. That sick feeling in your stomach after you lied to your brother about borrowing his skateboard? That might be your conscience bothering you./

良心是对什么是对什么是错的内在感觉。在你对你哥哥撒谎说借他的滑板之后,你的胃里有种恶心的感觉?那可能是你的良心困扰着你。

英文长含义:The word conscience contains the word science, which comes from the Latin word scientia, meaning “to know” or “knowledge.” You can think of your conscience as your knowledge of yourself, especially when it comes to your own morals, or your feelings about right and wrong. Pangs of conscience, which feel like an uncomfortable inner voice, are helpful when you’re trying to decide the right thing to do in a particular situation.

良心一词包含科学一词,它来自拉丁语 scientia,意思是“知道”或“知识”。您可以将良心视为对自己的了解,尤其是在涉及到自己的道德或对与错的感觉时。当你试图决定在特定情况下做正确的事情时,良心的痛苦,感觉像是一种不舒服的内心声音,很有帮助。

例句1:“He just wants to save his own skin. That’s why he’s helping us! He doesn’t have a guilty conscience, oh no. Why should he?”
“他只是想保护自己的皮肤。这就是他帮助我们的原因!他没有心虚,哦不。他为什么要这么做?”
– from Inkheart

例句2:He gazed at them unseeingly, fighting against his conscience, against beginning to see the justice in what Aurelia had said.
他茫然地注视着他们,与自己的良心作斗争,反对开始从奥里莉亚所说的话中看到正义。
– from Tiger, Tiger

例句3:So they went to this early mass, got it over with and went home and slept all day with a free conscience.
所以他们参加了这个早期的弥撒,结束了它,然后回家,一整天都带着自由的良心睡觉。
– from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
