sincerity

sincerity 指真诚、真挚的态度或感情，强调一个人的表达和意图是发自内心的，而不是敷衍或虚假。

💡 记忆钩子

把 sincerity 想成一颗没有包装的心：说话、道歉或表达爱意时，心里是什么样，表面就是什么样；这种“心口一致”的状态就是“真诚”。

📝 学习建议

不要把 sincerity 只理解成“诚实”；它更强调态度和感情是否发自内心，诚实则更强调是否说真话。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 真诚；真挚

📖 指一个人的感情、态度或意图是发自内心的，没有假装或敷衍。它就像“心口一致”：外在的表达和内心的真实想法相符。

💡 常用“with sincerity + 动词”表示“真诚地做某事”，或用“the sincerity of + 名词”说明某人的真诚程度。这个词语气通常是正面的，但也可以用于怀疑或评价某人的真诚；不要用它单独表示“事实准确”或“没有撒谎”。

countable uncountable
