| 词组 | dispassionate, impassionate |
| 释义 | dispassionate, impassionate Although The Right Handbook 1986 warns against confusing these words, we think you have little reason to worry. The basis for the warning seems to be that there are two adjectives impassionate, one of which means "impassioned" and the other "dispassionate." That situation does sound like a potential source of confusion. But neither of these adjectives seems to have been used since the middle of the 19th century, and both were rare to begin with. We doubt you will need either of them, with impassioned and dispassionate currently available. |
