"innocence" in Chinese (Traditional)
純真清白
Definition
指一種道德上的純潔、在法律上無罪,或像孩子一樣對壞事和複雜事情缺乏經驗的狀態。它既可以表示法律上的清白,也可以表示一個人單純純真的特質。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))
常見於法律搭配,如 'prove his innocence',也常見於帶感情色彩的表達,如 'childhood innocence' 和 'lose your innocence'。它通常是不可數名詞。'Innocence' 比 'not guilty' 更廣,因為它還可以表示純真、天真或未受腐化。
