開始學英語,safety or security

當前,大家最關心的就是"安全"了,臨出門家人不忘叮囑一聲「戴上口罩」"注意安全"。

這"安全"到底是「safety」還是"security"。這兩個英語單詞翻譯成漢語時都譯成了"安全",完成了不少困惑。

其實,safety是安全,表示的是無憂的一種狀態,security是保證safety所採取的措施,翻譯成"保安"會更準確。家中有糧,心裡不慌,這就是一種safety,而避免家裡的糧食被偷就要有security,保安措施。

簡單說,safety內生安全,而security是外部安全。只要我們遵守規則rules就能做到safety,所以經常見到safety rules,safety tips,避免危險就安全了。

security是為應對外部蓄意破壞而採取得安全措施,所以國家安全是national security,公安負責public security,藥監局才是負責藥物安全safety。

現在的網絡安全就是cyber security,因為網絡攻擊是敵意行為。

坐飛機,進機場要接受security check,上了飛機要閱讀安全須知,safety tips。

你想到銀行借錢,銀行怕你還不上,就說你得拿東西抵押一下,抵押的東西就是security。

你花了 買股票,怕莊家不認帳,你就得和他要票據,股票就是security,讓你心裡踏實的東西,要不然找誰要錢去,當然,賠了就不用去兌換了。

現在經常談安全保密,也是security,保密檢查就是 security clearance,因為洩密compromise一定會造成損失。

stay safe at home and take safety measures when going out.

相關焦點

  • 安全:到底是safety,還是security?
    公安部的英文表達是Ministry of Public Security,這裡的「公安」指「公共安全」,那麼,這裡的security能不能用safety來替換?下面,我們就來說一說security和safety的區別。先說security。
  • Safety與Security信息分布的比較分析
    從現有的文獻來看,Safety一詞最早出現在1250-1300,屬於 Middle English(中古英語) sauvete < Middle French;Security一詞則出現在1400-1450,屬於late Middle English(晚期中古英語) securytye, securite(e)< Latin sēcūritās[1]。
  • 區分「security」vs「safety」
    「Security」 and 「safety」(安全)是每個人生活中的很大一部分,所以很多日常表達中會有這兩個詞。Since the two ideas are very closely related, it's not always easy to remember what kinds of things use security, and what uses safety.
  • security還是safety,這兩個表示安全的詞很不一樣!
    ⊙safety&security有什麼區別?
  • security還是safety,這兩個表示「安全」的詞真的很不一樣!
    比起明確的語法區分,相似詞義的單詞區別更容易讓人混淆,今天詞彙辨析的主角是safety和security。security涉及的範圍比safety更廣。safety和security之間最主要的區別之一是它們的定義,從上述內容中我們可以看出:the feeling of being safe is an emotional aspect while security has to do with physical aspect.

    英語閱讀:加強安保 ramped up security下面這段簡單英語可能會被「學了」多年英語的學生/人認為:只能翻譯成中文「才能懂了」否則的話「根本無法理解」。這就是長期只會「用」中文(才能)「懂」英語的人產生的「後遺症」,也是多年來「學」英語白白浪費時間的有力證明:只有中文才能「救」英語?
