    分析 词典对比 组词对比
  • Sense】 ,  【common sense】 ,  【good sense】 ,  【horse sense】 ,  【gumption】 ,  【judgment】 ,  【wisdom】  can all mean the quality of mind or character which enables one to make intelligent choices or decisions or to reach intelligent conclusions.

    Sense】 , because of its numerous significations, is often, when this meaning is intended, called common 【sense】 , good 【sense】 , or  【horse sense】 . All four terms imply a capacity—usually a native capacity—for seeing things as they are and without illusion or emotional bias, for making practical choices or decisions that are sane, prudent, fair, and reasonable and that commend themselves to the normal or average good mind.

    Gumption】 implies native wit or sound common 【sense】 often combined with initiative and drive.

    Judgment】 seldom applies to a native quality though it usually suggests a foundation in native good 【sense】 . But it also suggests intellectual qualities (as discernment of facts or conditions that are not obvious as well as knowledge of those that are ascertainable and an ability to comprehend the significance of those facts and conditions and to draw correct unbiased conclusions from them) which are the result of training, discipline, and experience.

    Wisdom】 is of all these terms the one of highest praise. It often suggests great soundness of 【judgment】 in practical affairs and unusual sagacity, but it is also capable of suggesting an ideal quality of mind or character that is the result of a trained 【judgment】 exercised not only in practical affairs but in philosophical speculation, of wide experience in life and thought, of great learning, and of deep understanding.
