常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Amoral"?Which "Amoral" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×His actions were completely amoral; he knew stealing was wrong but did it anyway.

His actions were completely immoral; he knew stealing was wrong but did it anyway.

混淆 'amoral' 與 'immoral'。'Amoral' 意指與道德無關、不涉及道德判斷,而 'immoral' 意指不道德的、違反道德標準的。如果行為者知道對錯卻故意為惡,應使用 'immoral'。

×She is such an amoral person, always lying and cheating.

She is such an immoral person, always lying and cheating.

誤將 'amoral' 當作純粹的貶義詞使用。'Amoral' 描述的是缺乏道德意識或不在道德框架內,本身是中性詞。描述故意做出不誠實、欺騙等公認的壞行為時,應使用帶有負面評價的 'immoral', 'unethical' 或 'dishonest'。

×He was accused of amoral.

He was accused of amorality. / He was accused of being amoral.

錯誤地將形容詞 'amoral' 當作名詞使用。正確的名詞形式是 'amorality'。或者應使用 'being amoral' 等結構。

×Lions killing zebras is an immoral act of violence.

Lions killing zebras is an amoral act; it's simply part of nature.

將自然界的行為誤用為 'immoral'。動物或自然力量的行為不受人類道德規範約束,應使用 'amoral' 來描述。'Immoral' 通常用於有能力理解道德的人類行為。

×He has an immoral attitude towards the rules.

He has an amoral attitude towards the rules.

因拼寫或發音相近而混淆 'amoral' (a-moral) 與 'immoral' (im-moral)。此句想表達的是他對規則持一種「不考慮道德與否」的態度,而非「不道德」的態度。兩者前綴不同,意義有根本區別。
