personality
1.personality在一般词典里注作“人格”，其实跟“人格高尚”、“人格卑鄙”等表达方式里的“人格”不同。personality通常有四个意思：（1）“一个人的本身”（personal identity），如His personality has not yet been determined。（还不曾查出他是谁。）（2）“一个人的个性”（distinctive personal character，但也兼指外表），如He has a charming personality。（3）“个性”（individuality，是抽象名词），如Personality is of as much importance as ability。（4）“动人性”（magnetic personal quality，是抽象名词），如He is a man with personality和She has personality。
2.注意下面三句里的personality和personalities的意思：
- There seems to be a degree of personality in his remarks.（他的话里似乎有些人身攻击的成分。）
- Jack said Helen was an absolute individualist—which was a personality she naturally resented.（杰克说海伦是一个绝对的个人主义者——那当然是她恨的一句人身攻击的话。）
- We must avoid personalities.（我们必须避免人身攻击。）
