Caginess is the closed, careful quality itself — the habit of not showing what you know or what you will do. You hear it about people, voices, and sometimes about companies or teams that will not give a straight answer.

Caginess防備心 是它是 the closed, careful quality itself那種封閉、謹慎的特質本身 — the habit of不 showing what you know or what you will do不露出你知道什麼或打算做什麼的習慣。You你 hear it about people, voices聽到它用在形容人、聲音，and sometimes about companies or teams有時候也用在公司或團隊 that will not give a straight answer那種不肯給明確答案的。

It is a little informal, the same family as cagey, and it often carries a small feeling of distrust: not “this person is wise,” but “this person is holding something back.” Though actually, caginess is not always a bad thing.

It它 is a little informal是有點非正式的字，the same family as cagey跟cagey同一家族，and而且 it often carries常常帶有 a small feeling of distrust一點不信任的感覺：not 'this person is wise,'不是「這個人很有智慧」， but 'this person is holding something back.'而是「這個人在有所保留」。Though actually不過其實，caginess防備心 is not always a bad thing並不總是壞事。

In a hard talk, a little caginess can just mean you are not ready to say everything yet.

In a hard talk在一場艱難的對話裡，a little caginess一點點防備心 can just mean可能只是表示 you are not ready to say everything yet你還沒準備好把話全說出來。

It is more a written word; in speech people more often just say someone is being cagey.

It它 is more a written word比較是書面用字；in speech在口語裡 people人們 more often just say更常直接說 someone is being cagey某人現在很有防備心。
