短释义
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是一个形容词,意思是警觉和清醒。如果你从树上摔下来,头撞到独轮车的侧面,那么之后你很可能会失去知觉。

长释义
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想法有意识。如果你有“自我意识”,那么你就会对自己的外表或行为过于敏感,甚至感到尴尬。但这听起来比失去意识、或者完全没有意识到并脱离它要好。

文学例句

词源
conscious (adj.)c. 1600, “knowing, privy to” (poetic), from Latin conscius “knowing, aware,” from conscire “be (mutually) aware,” from assimilated form of com “with,” or “thoroughly” (see con-) + scire “to know” (see science). The Latin word probably is a loan-translation of Greek syneidos.
The sense of “knowing or perceiving within oneself, sensible inwardly, aware” is from 1630s, perhaps a shortening of conscious to oneself (1620s). Also compare the Latin sense evolution in conscience. From 1650s as “aware (of a fact).” Sense of “active and awake, endowed with active mental faculties” is from 1837.

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
有意识的(形容词)c. 1600,“知道,私密”(诗意),源自拉丁语 conscius“知道,意识到”,源自 concire“(相互)意识到”,源自 com“与”或“彻底”的同化形式(参见 con-)+咒语“知道”(见科学)。拉丁语单词可能是希腊语 syneidos 的借译。 “在自己内部认识或感知、内心敏感、意识到”的感觉是从1630年代开始的,也许是“自我意识”(1620年代)的缩写。还比较了良心中拉丁语意义的演变。从 1650 年代开始为“意识到(事实)”。 “活跃且清醒,具有活跃的心理能力”的含义源自 1837 年。相关:Conciously。相关条目及更多
