英文长含义：The word unconscionable is related to the word conscience. Add the un-, and you can see that it refers to something done without applying good moral judgment. The word first appeared in the mid-16th century — presumably everyone up until that time had high scruples and never did or said anything beyond the boundaries of conscience. Sadly, the antonym, conscionable, is rarely used, and, in fact, has been obsolete since the 18th century, though unconscionable remains in frequent use.
不合情理这个词与良心这个词有关。加上 un-，你可以看到它指的是在没有运用良好的道德判断的情况下完成的事情。这个词最早出现在 16 世纪中叶——大概直到那个时候，每个人都怀有高度的顾忌，从来没有做过或说过任何超出良心的事情。可悲的是，反义词 conscionable 很少使用，事实上，自 18 世纪以来就已经过时了，尽管 unconscionable 仍然经常使用。
例句1：Trump has been in charge of thousands of employees for decades, and the fact that no one felt the need to protect half his workforce, I find unconscionable.
几十年来，特朗普一直掌管着数千名员工，而没有人觉得有必要保护他一半的员工，我认为这是不合情理的。
