Phrase | innocence |
Text | In this podcast, the word "innocence" means the state of not knowing very much about the real world, especially about bad things that happen: "I wish our children could keep their innocence forever, never learning about hardship and death." The phrase "in all innocence" is used to describe one's actions when one has hurt another person but didn't mean to: "In all innocence, I offered Jim a glass of wine, not knowing that he's a recovering alcoholic." The word "innocence" also means not being guilty, not having committed a crime, or not having done something against the law: "He was arrested for stealing money, but throughout the entire trial, he kept trying to prove his innocence by saying that someone else must have stolen the money." |
