Integrity Means Fairness Moral N Uncount 不可数名词 In'tegriti N.正直,诚实,完整,完全,完整性

英语单词 integrity
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.
