You might use innate in cases where there might be confusion with a different meaning of natural: for example an innate response is response that sb/sth makes because it is in their character; a natural response is more likely to be a response that sb else expects or understands.這兩個詞在含義和用法上差别很小。natural較innate常用和非正式。在有可能與natural的其他含義相混淆的情況下可用innate,比如,an innate response指出於本能的反應;a natural response更有可能指他人看來合乎情理的反應◆Anxiety at a perceived threat is an innate response in any animal.察覺到威脅時感到焦慮是任何動物的本能反應。◆It's a natural response to keep your troubles quiet.對自己的苦惱守口如瓶是很自然的反應。 see also natural ⇨ obvious■congenital kənˈdʒenɪtl (of a disease or medical condition) existing since birth; existing as a basic part of sb's character that will never change(疾病或病理狀況)先天的,天生的;生性的;生就的◆Congenital abnormalities can occur in babies whose mothers drink heavily.母親酗酒可能會導致嬰兒先天畸形。◆He's a congenital liar!他生性好說謊!■hereditaryhəˈredɪtri; NAmEhəˈredɪteri(especially of diseases) existing from birth as a result of being passed on by one or both parents(尤指疾病)遺傳的,遺傳性的◆It's a hereditary disorder that can cause abnormal growth.這是一種可能會導致發育異常的遺傳病。
