contrition

悔悟, 后悔英释中释ndeeply felt remorse; penitence

1 Blankfein was clearly trying to placate the locals and show some kind of contrition..布兰克费恩显然在尽力抚慰德国人，并表现出一定的悔悟。

2 An active conscience is a fine and healthy thing, of course. But contrition must not be limited to certain parties while innocence is accorded to anyone who claims to be persecuted..这种悔恨的思潮像流行病一样传遍了民间与政府，适度的表现良知是件好事，但是悔悟不应该仅仅局限于当事人一方，清白也不应该给予任何一个自称受到迫害的人。
