大家平常常常会听到要全心全意工作,全心全意为人民服务如此的教会,大家也了解这个全心全意用英文来表达就是wholehearted,we are supposed to work wholeheartedly.
那样,假如有人对工作或日常的事情缺少热情,对自己工作或生活漠不关心,是成功或是失败都不在乎,大家要如何形容如此的人呢?He is a half-hearted man indeed! 半心半意、朝三暮四,你看,英文还是非常丰富的。
再来看一个包括 全心和半心的例句:
Now I can understand why your wife wants to porce1 you. You must admit you've never loved her wholeheartedly and half-hearted love is worse than none.
我目前能理解你老婆为何要和你离婚了。你得承认你从来没全心全意地爱过她,而朝三暮四的爱比不喜欢更糟。
