Privacy is considered a good thing, when you can be in your home or some other place that allows you to do things without being watched or disturbed by other people. Seclusion has a similar meaning but there is a stronger sense of being far away from other people and so protected from being disturbed. Solitude is even more positive, often suggesting peace and quiet as well as being away from other people. Loneliness has a negative meaning, suggesting feelings of unhappiness because you are on your own and have no contact with others. The emphasis with isolation is on being in a situation where you have no one to talk to or ask for help. * privacy指在家中或其他地方不会被人监视或打扰，是件好事。seclusion的词义相近，但更多远离尘嚣的意味。solitude正面含义更强，常指远离他人时得到的宁静。loneliness含有负面意义，指孑然一身，与他人没有往来时的孤独感。isolation强调无人可说话、无人可求助的孤立状况。 |
