英美音标 | [in'tegriti] |
中文释义 | n.正直,诚实,完整,完全,完整性 |
vocab简明 | Integrity is a personal quality of fairness that we all aspire to — unless you're a dishonest, immoral scoundrel, of course. |
vocab扩展 | Having integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way. It's a personality trait that we admire, since it means a person has a moral compass that doesn't waver. It literally means having "wholeness" of character, just as an integer is a "whole number" with no fractions. Physical objects can display integrity, too — if you're going over a rickety old bridge that sways in the wind, you might question its structural integrity. |
真题原句 | Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community and, if its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance. |
