You can picture a scrupulous person as someone who cannot walk past a small thing. Everyone else says it is too small to matter — five dollars of change, one step in a procedure, a promise nobody heard — and they stop anyway, because to them it is not small. All three uses are that same stop: over what is fair, over what is complete, or, turned inward and painful, over whether they themselves have done wrong.
「scrupulous」可以想成一個人走不過去一件小事。別人都說「這麼小沒差啦」——多找的五塊錢、流程裡的一個步驟、沒人聽到的一句承諾——他還是停下來,因為對他來說那不小。這個字的三種用法,都可以想成同一個「停下來」:停在公不公平上、停在做完了沒有上,或者轉向自己、變成痛苦的那一種——一直停在「我是不是做錯了」上面。
