1. 1nB1/ˈklenlinəs/清潔;潔淨

    The habit of staying clean and of keeping your home and things clean.

    示範例句 · Example

    The kitchen kept a high standard of cleanliness after every cooking club.

    逐字那間廚房在每次料理社團之後都保持很高的清潔標準。

    「cleanliness」是不可數名詞,指「把身體、房間、廚房等一直保持乾淨的做法/習慣」。常見說法:a high standard of cleanliness(很高的清潔標準)、personal cleanliness(個人清潔)。可以想成:不是一次擦乾淨(那比較像 clean 這個動作),而是「維持乾淨」這件事本身。它跟 clean 容易並排:clean 多半是形容詞「乾淨的」或動詞「弄乾淨」;cleanliness 是名詞「清潔的習慣/程度」。跟 tidiness/整潔:tidiness 偏「東西放整齊」;cleanliness 偏「沒有髒、有洗有擦」。

Picture a kitchen where the surfaces get wiped every evening whether or not anyone is coming — not one clean-up, but the habit that keeps it that way. Cleanliness is the standard being kept, not the state on any one day.

可以想成:一間廚房,不管當天有沒有客人要來,檯面每天晚上都會擦一遍——重點不是那一次打掃,而是讓它一直保持乾淨的那個習慣。cleanliness 說的就是這份被維持著的標準,而不是某一天的狀態。
