noun

mind ♦︎ brain ♦︎ head ♦︎ soul ♦︎ spirit ♦︎ ego ♦︎ the/your subconsciousThese are all words for the part of sb which cannot be seen or touched, but which allows them to think, feel and be aware of things. 这些词均表示头脑、心灵。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆the human mind / brain / soul / spirit◆a thought enters sb's mind / head◆deep in your mind / the brain / your subconscious■ mind [countable, uncountable] the part of a person that makes them able to be aware of things, to think and to feel 头脑；大脑◆There were all kinds of thoughts running through my mind.各种念头在我脑海中闪过。◆There was no doubt in his mind that he'd get the job.他毫不怀疑自己会得到这份工作。◆She was in a disturbed state of mind.她的脑子里一片慌乱。◆I could not have complete peace of mind before they returned.他们不回来，我心里就不踏实。■ brain [countable] the organ inside the head that controls movement, thought, memory and feeling 脑◆The scan apparently showed no damage to the brain.扫描检查清楚显示脑部没有受到损伤。◆brain cells脑细胞◆She died of a brain tumour.她死于脑瘤。◆Electrodes were used to measure brain activity during sleep.用电极来检测睡眠时脑部的活动。■ head [countable] the mind 头脑；大脑◆I sometimes wonder what goes on in that head of yours.我有时搞不懂你脑子里都想些什么。◆I wish you'd use your head (= think carefully before doing or saying sth).我希望你凡事多动动脑子。◆I can't work it out in my head－I need a calculator.我没法心算出来，我得用计算器。◆I can't get that tune out of my head.那个曲调在我头脑中挥之不去。◆When will you get it into your head (= understand) that I don't want to discuss this any more!你何时才能明白我不想再谈论这件事了！◆For some reason she's got it into her head (= believes) that the others don't like her.由于某种原因，她认定别人都不喜欢她。NOTE 辨析 Mind or head? Head is slightly more informal than mind in this meaning and is used especially to talk about thoughts and ideas that get into your head or that you can't get out of your head. 表达此义时，head较mind略非正式，尤用于短语get sth into one's head和can't get sth out of one's head中。■ soul [countable] the part of a person that includes their mind, feelings and character rather than their body; the spiritual part of a person, believed to exist after death; the spiritual and moral qualities of humans in general 心灵；精神；灵魂；（人类整体的）精神状况，道德品质◆There was a feeling of restlessness deep in her soul.她内心深处感到焦躁不安。◆He believed his immortal soul was in peril.他认为他不死的灵魂有堕入地狱的危险。◆His poetry deals with the dark side of the human soul.他的诗歌涉及人类精神世界中阴暗的一面。■ spirit [countable] a soul 精神；心灵；灵魂◆He felt a kind of lightness in his spirit as the sun came up.太阳升起时，他内心感到一阵轻松。◆He is dead, but his spirit lives on.他人死了，但精神永存。◆You are underestimating the power of the human spirit to overcome difficulties.你低估了人类克服困难的精神力量。   see also spirit ⇨ ghost NOTE 辨析 Soul or spirit? Spirit is often a more positive word than soul. People talk about lost/tormented/troubled souls and the dark side of the human soul; and about sb's indomitable spirit and the power of the human spirit. When they are used to talk about the spiritual part of a person, a spirit is often considered to be separate from a living person, especially because the person has died. A soul is often considered as the spiritual part of a person who is still alive. * spirit常较soul褒义更强，从各自的搭配中可见一斑，如lost/tormented/troubled souls（迷失的／受折磨的心灵；内心烦乱），the dark side of the human soul（人类精神世界中阴暗的一面），sb's indomitable spirit（某人不屈不挠的精神），the power of the human spirit（人类的精神力量）。指人的灵魂时，spirit常被视为脱离生者而存在，尤指死者的灵魂；soul常指活着的人的灵魂。■ ego ˈiːgəʊ, ˈegəʊ; NAmE ˈiːgoʊ(plural egos) [countable] (psychology 心理) the part of the mind that is responsible for your sense of who you are 自我◆Freud introduced the idea that a part of the ego is unconscious.弗洛伊德创立的理论认为人的自我有一部分是处于无意识状态的。  see also self ⇨ identity ■ the subconscious■ your subconscious [singular] the part of your mind that contains feelings that you are not aware of 下意识；潜意识◆She buried the guilt deep in her subconscious.她把内疚深埋在潜意识中。◆Delving into the subconscious can be helpful in working through psychological problems.探究潜意识有时有助于解决心理问题。   see also subconscious ⇨ unconscious adj.
