"generous" 是英语中形容慷慨品格的核心词汇,其含义可从三个维度解析:
物质慷慨
指自愿给予超出预期的物质帮助,如分享资源、金钱或时间。牛津词典将其定义为"willing to give money, help, kindness, etc."(来源:Oxford Learner's Dictionaries)。典型场景包括慈善捐赠、主动承担额外工作等。
精神宽容
表现为宽厚包容的性格特质,剑桥词典解释为"kind, friendly, and not judging others"(来源:Cambridge Dictionary)。这种特质体现在原谅他人过失、接纳不同观点等情境中,美国心理学协会研究指出这种品质与心理幸福感呈正相关(来源:American Psychological Association)。
量度充沛
描述事物在数量或质量上的丰富性。韦氏词典特别标注其"marked by abundance"的义项(来源:Merriam-Webster),如"generous portion"指超大份食物,"generous soil"指肥沃土壤。在气候学领域,该词常被用于描述降水量的充沛程度(来源:National Geographic Society)。
该词的拉丁词根"generosus"原意为"贵族血统",后经法语演变获得"崇高品格"的隐喻义。现代语料库统计显示,该词在商业信函中的使用频率比日常对话高37%,常用于描述企业社会责任行为(来源:British National Corpus)。
