(also -ise)□ sensually adv.[Middle English from Late Latin sensualis (as SENSE)]■ Usage 用法说明 Sensual is sometimes confused with sensuous. While sensual is used to describe things that are gratifying to the body, and has sexual overtones, sensuous is used to mean ‘affecting or appealing to the senses’ in an aesthetic sense, without the pejorative implications of sensual. 有时 sensual 易与 sensuous 相混淆。 sensual 描述的是满足肉体的事物，有“性”的含义； sensuous 指对感官有美学上的愉悦作用，而没有 sensual 一词的贬损色彩。 |
