• 罪责

Definition

Guilt 指因为自己做错了事、伤害了别人，或在重要的事情上没有做好而产生的内疚感。它也可以指对犯罪或错误行为所承担的责任。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

'Guilt' 最常见的意思是情绪上的“内疚感”；表示法律上的“有罪、罪责”时更正式。常见搭配有 'feel guilt', 'guilt over/about something', 'be eaten up with guilt'，以及 'guilt trip'（让别人产生愧疚感来影响对方）。不要和 'shame' 混淆：'guilt' 更强调你做了什么，'shame' 更强调你怎么看自己。
