"guilt" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 內疚
• 罪責

Definition

Guilt 指因為自己做錯了事、傷害了別人，或在重要的事情上沒有做好而產生的內疚感。它也可以指對犯罪或錯誤行為所承擔的責任。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

'Guilt' 最常見的意思是情緒上的「內疚感」；表示法律上的「有罪、罪責」時更正式。常見搭配有 'feel guilt', 'guilt over/about something', 'be eaten up with guilt'，以及 'guilt trip'（讓別人產生愧疚感來影響對方）。不要和 'shame' 混淆：'guilt' 更強調你做了什麼，'shame' 更強調你怎麼看自己。
