Cruel is used to talk about physical attacks too, but it is also commonly used to describe acts which cause mental pain and suffering. Cruel can often give the impression that the person carrying out the violence is enjoying the experience; it can be used with words describing how people look. * brutal一般用来形容谋杀或袭击，或施行此类暴行的人或政权。cruel亦用于形容身体袭击，但也常用于描述引起精神痛苦和伤害的行为。cruel常给人的印象是施暴者以此为乐，可与描述人的样子的词搭配◆a cruel mouth / grin / look显得残忍的嘴巴／笑／样子 Cruel can vary in strength: it can mean 'deliberately causing extreme pain' or it can just mean 'rather unkind'; brutal is always much stronger than 'unkind'. * cruel表示的残忍程度可强可弱，可指“故意折磨”，或仅为“心肠很硬”；brutal表示的残忍程度总是比“心肠硬”大很多。   see also unkind ⇨ mean adj. 1 ■ savage ˈsævɪdʒ (especially journalism 尤用于新闻) fierce and violent; causing great harm 凶恶的；凶残的；损害严重的◆She had been badly hurt in what police described as 'a savage attack'.她遭受袭击而身受重伤，警方称这是一次“野蛮的袭击”。■ vicious ˈvɪʃəs violent and cruel 狂暴的；残酷的；狠毒的◆He was set upon by vicious thugs.他受到凶狠暴徒的袭击。◆She has a vicious temper.她性情暴虐。ⓘ Vicious is often also used, sometimes with attack, to talk about things that people say or write. * vicious亦常形容言辞尖刻严厉，有时与attack连用。   see also vicious ⇨ vicious ■ sadistic səˈdɪstɪk getting pleasure, especially sexual pleasure, from hurting other people 施虐的；（尤指）喜欢性施虐的◆He took sadistic pleasure in taunting the boy.嘲讽这个男孩让他有施虐的快感。■ barbaric bɑːˈbærɪk; NAmE bɑːrˈbærɪkcruel and violent, and not as expected from people who are educated and respect each other 残暴的；野蛮的；没有文化的◆It was described as a particularly barbaric act.那被描述成一种特别野蛮的行为。◆The way these animals are killed is barbaric.宰杀这些动物的方式很残忍。■ inhuman (rather formal) completely lacking the qualities of kindness and pity 无同情心的；冷酷无情的◆We regard their treatment of the prisoners as inhuman.我们认为他们对待囚犯不人道。◆The photos showed inhuman and degrading conditions.这些照片展示了不人道和有损尊严的状况。▸ inhumanity
