用法与细微差别
'Intentional' is slightly formal and often used in legal, academic, and workplace contexts. Common phrases: 'intentional act', 'intentional harm', 'intentional decision'. Not as emotionally loaded as 'deliberate,' but both mean 'on purpose'. Don't confuse with 'accidental' (opposite meaning).
