Spirit is often a more positive word than soul. People talk about lost/tormented/troubled souls and the dark side of the human soul; and about sb's indomitable spirit and the power of the human spirit. When they are used to talk about the spiritual part of a person, a spirit is often considered to be separate from a living person, especially because the person has died. A soul is often considered as the spiritual part of a person who is still alive. * spirit常较soul褒义更强，从各自的搭配中可见一斑，如lost/tormented/troubled souls（迷失的／受折磨的心灵；内心烦乱），the dark side of the human soul（人类精神世界中阴暗的一面），sb's indomitable spirit（某人不屈不挠的精神），the power of the human spirit（人类的精神力量）。指人的灵魂时，spirit常被视为脱离生者而存在，尤指死者的灵魂；soul常指活着的人的灵魂。■ ego /ˈiːgəʊ, ˈegəʊ; NAmE ˈiːgoʊ/ (plural egos) [countable] (psychology 心理) the part of the mind that is responsible for your sense of who you are 自我◆Freud introduced the idea that a part of the ego is unconscious.弗洛伊德创立的理论认为人的自我有一部分是处于无意识状态的。 see also self ⇨ identity ■ the subconscious ■ your subconscious [singular] the part of your mind that contains feelings that you are not aware of 下意识；潜意识◆She buried the guilt deep in her subconscious.她把内疚深埋在潜意识中。◆Delving into the subconscious can be helpful in working through psychological problems.探究潜意识有时有助于解决心理问题。 see also subconscious ⇨ unconscious adj. |
