词族与关联词

词族（同一词根派生出的不同词性或形式）
  • guilt 罪行；内疚；罪责
    不可数名词，既可指犯罪或有错的事实，也可指做错事后的心理负担。
  • guiltily 内疚地；心虚地
    副词，通常描述因自知做错事而表现出的神情或动作。
反义词
  • innocent 无辜的；无罪的；天真的
    在法律语境中，innocent 与 guilty 的“有罪”相对，表示“无罪”；innocent 还可表示天真无邪，而 guilty 的另一核心义是“内疚的”，此时不能用 innocent 作直接反义。
    The new evidence proved that the accused man was innocent. 新证据证明被告是无罪的。
易混词（形近或义近，注意区别）
  • ashamed 羞愧的；惭愧的
    guilty 强调因具体过错或未尽责任而内疚，也可作法律上的“有罪”；ashamed 强调自尊心受损、觉得自己行为丢脸，常用 be ashamed of，不能表示法律上的有罪。
    She was ashamed of the way she had spoken to her colleague. 她为自己对同事说话的方式感到羞愧。
