このテーマの全語です。定義を隠して、 よい意味・わるい意味・中立の三つに分けてみるのが、いちばん効く使い方です。 分け間違えた語が、そのまま自分の弱点になります。
Every word in this theme. The best use of it is to cover the meanings and sort the list into positive, negative and neutral. Whichever ones you put in the wrong pile are exactly your weak spots.
内訳：よい意味 0語 ／ わるい意味 19語 ／ 中立 8語。 強さはこのテーマの中での相対です—— テーマをまたいで比べる数字ではありません。
0 positive, 19 negative, 8 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.

| collusion n | − | ●●● | a secret agreement to deceive others — 共謀・談合connive は個人がこっそり企むこと、collusion は複数で結んだ秘密の取り決めで、より重い語です。connive is one person scheming on the quiet; collusion is two or more parties bound by a secret agreement to deceive everyone else, and it is the heavier charge. |

| facade n | 0 | ●● | a false front; also, the face of a building — 表向きの顔veneer は薄い上塗りで下がすぐ透けますが、facade は全体を覆う見せかけです。a veneer is a thin layer laid over the surface of the real thing; a facade is an entire false front held up to the world. |
