在很多人的觀念里,“嫉妒”和“妒忌”好像沒什么太大的差別,其實(shí)還是有區(qū)別的。在英語(yǔ)中,表達(dá)它們意思的jealousy和envy這兩個(gè)詞你必須要仔細(xì)區(qū)分,才不會(huì)用錯(cuò)地方。關(guān)于它們?cè)谟梅ㄉ系牟町?,大家有多少了解?

Jealousy /'d?el?s?/ n. 妒忌

By the term, jealousy we mean an unpleasant feeling,aroused when you fear someone is trying to take,which happens to be yours.

我們所說(shuō)的jealousy指的是你害怕某人,想要奪走你的東西時(shí)而產(chǎn)生的一種不愉快的感覺。

To put simply, jealousy occurs,when there is an insecurity or anxiety ,over an expected loss status,position or something of personal ,value to another person that belongs to you.

簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō),jealousy指當(dāng)你對(duì)地位、立場(chǎng)或本屬于你的有個(gè)人價(jià)值的事物,感到有失去的可能時(shí)而產(chǎn)生的恐懼和焦慮。

Further, it is a complex emotion,that gives rise to many other,feelings such as anger,helplessness,humiliation, etc.

此外,它還是一種會(huì)引起許多其他的情感,如憤怒、無(wú)助、羞辱等的復(fù)雜的情感。

Envy /'env?/ n. 嫉妒,妒忌

We define envy as a feeling of covetousness,and begrudging, aroused when a person,lacks someone else s exceptional quality,possession or success, advantages, etc.

我們把envy定義為一種貪婪和不情愿的感覺。它發(fā)生在當(dāng)一個(gè)人感覺到他缺乏他人的卓越品質(zhì)、財(cái)富或成功、優(yōu)勢(shì)等時(shí)。

Envy is an emotion,experienced by people ,who are dissatisfied with their self-image or,who has low self-esteem,as they feel inferior to the person they envy.

Envy是那些對(duì)自己的自我形象不滿意或,自尊心不強(qiáng)的人會(huì)有的一種情緒,其實(shí)就是他們覺得自己不如自己所嫉妒的人。

舉個(gè)例子:

If you want your neighbor's new convertible,you feel envy. If she takes your husband for a ride,you feel jealousy.

如果你想要鄰居的新敞篷車,你會(huì)envy。

如果她帶你丈夫去兜風(fēng),你會(huì)jealousy。

總的來(lái)說(shuō)就是

envy: 側(cè)重指因別人獲得了自己本想獲得的東西或成就而產(chǎn)生妒忌。

jealousy: 強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)別人占有的東西惱恨不滿。
