Compassion is a stronger feeling than pity. It is a warm, kind feeling that suggests that you understand what other people are feeling and that you share their suffering in some way. If you feel pity, you do not necessarily have this understanding, and you may not have or show as much respect for the person you feel pity for. For this reason, sb might say: ◆I don't want your pity!but they are unlikely to say:◆I don't want your compassion! Pity is often used in the phrases have/take pity on sb 与pity相比，compassion所表达的感情要强烈一些，它是一种温暖、友善的感情，表示对他人苦难的理解和感同身受；pity则不一定有这种理解，也未必对受同情者怀有或表现出很多尊重。因此，人们可能说I don't want your pity!（我不需要你的同情！）但不大可能说I don't want your compassion!。pity常用于短语have/take pity on sb中。■ understanding [uncountable, singular] the ability to understand why people behave in a particular way and show them sympathy when things go wrong 理解；谅解；体谅◆Please try to show a little more understanding.请尽量多表现出一点体谅。◆We are looking for a better understanding between the two nations.我们正在寻求两国间进一步的相互了解。 see also understanding ⇨ sensitive adj. 1 ■ condolence / /kənˈdəʊləns; NAmE kənˈdoʊləns/ [countable, usually plural, uncountable] (rather formal) sympathy that you express for sb when a person in their family or that they know well has died 吊唁；慰唁◆Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and family.我们谨向他的妻子和家人表示诚挚的慰唁。◆a letter of condolence吊唁信ⓘ My/his/her/our, etc. condolences is used in formal or official situations, for example in a speech or letter. * my/his/her/our, etc. condolences用于正式或官方场合，如演讲或书信中。■ humanity /hjuːˈmænəti/ / [uncountable] the quality of being kind to people and animals by making sure that they do not suffer more than is necessary 人道；仁慈◆The judge was praised for his courage and humanity.那位法官因勇气和人道而受到称赞。OPP inhumanity ⇨ cruel see also humane ⇨ sensitive 1 |
