calʹlously adv.(副词)calʹlousness n.(名词)- Do not confuse the adjectivecallous, as in Years of dealing with criminals had left her callous, with the noun callus, as inI have a callus on my thumb. The verbscallous and callus mean respectively "to make or become callous" and "to form or develop hardened tissue.” 不要把形容词callous ,如句子 数年与罪犯打交道的经历使她心肠硬起来了, 与名词 callus 相混淆, 如下句我拇指上结茧了。 动词callous 与 callus 分别指为“使变硬或成为结茧的”和“形成或发展已变硬的组织”
