| 词组 | venal, venial |
| 释义 | venal, venial Venal, which means "open to or characterized by corruption," is sometimes confused with venial, which means "pardonable": • I'm a ... sinner! Venal, mortal, carnal, major, minor—however you want to call it —Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 1972 • ... the venial, inefficient trading community —Peter Forster, London Calling, 17 Mar. 1955 These mistakes are not common in edited writing, but they are easily made in a moment of inattention. |
