Compelled

　　What you think it means: To do something voluntarily by choice.你認(rèn)為單詞的含義是：志愿選擇做某事。

　　What it really means: To be forced or obligated to doing something.單詞的真正含義是：被迫或有義務(wù)做某事。

　　This is one that people get wrong and it's rather understandable. The real definition is very close to the definition people generally use. The difference is the motivation. When people say compelled, they think the person wants to perform the action. In fact, they are forced to do it regardless of their personal feelings. Here’s an example. When you’re in court, you are compelled to give honest testimony. You may not want to, but it doesn’t matter because you have to.這個(gè)單詞被人們搞錯(cuò)其實(shí)倒也情有可原。它的真實(shí)定義和人們通常誤用的含義很接近，但區(qū)別就在于動機(jī)如何。當(dāng)說到compelled(被迫)時(shí)，人們以為說話者想做某事，但實(shí)際上，說話者是有違自身情緒而被迫去做某事的。舉個(gè)例子，在出庭時(shí)，你就是compelled(被迫)如實(shí)作證的，你可能心里不情愿，但不管怎樣你只能這么做。
