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 6語 ／ わるい意味 11語 ／ 中立 5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。
6 positive, 11 negative, 5 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.
| 語Word | 向き+/− | 強さStrength | 意味Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|

| compensate v | 0 | ● | to pay someone back for a loss — 補償する |
| cupidity n | − | ●●● | a burning greed — 激しい強欲avarice と同じ強欲ですが、cupidity の方が激しく燃えるような欲です。cupidity and avarice are the same greed for wealth, but cupidity is the burning, out-of-control version. |
| destitute adj | − | ●●● | lacking even the basics — 極貧の |
| frugal adj | ＋ | ● | careful with money — 倹約なstingy や parsimony が非難なのに対し、frugal は褒め言葉です。frugal praises you for watching your money, while stingy and parsimony blame you for refusing to spend or give at all. |
| impecunious adj | − | ●● | having no money — 金欠のdestitute や indigent のような深刻な貧困ではなく、一時的にお金がない状態です。destitute and indigent mean deep poverty with nothing to fall back on, while impecunious just means being out of money for now. |
| indigent adj | − | ●●● | desperately poor — 困窮した |
| largess n | ＋ | ●● | generous giving on a grand scale — 気前のよい施しphilanthropic が公益への寄付を指すのに対し、largess は上の立場から施す含みがあります。philanthropic giving goes to good causes, while largess is grand giving handed down by someone in a superior position. |
| lavish adj | 0 | ●● | given without limit — 惜しみない文脈次第で褒め言葉にも批判にもなります。必ず非難になるのは profligate です。lavish can be praise or criticism depending on the context, but profligate is always a criticism. |
| munificence n | ＋ | ●●● | great generosity in giving — 大盤振る舞い |
| parsimony n | − | ●●● | extreme unwillingness to spend — 極端なけち |
| penurious adj | − | ●●● | miserly — ひどくけちな形が貧困の語に似ていますが、indigent のような貧しさではなく、parsimony と同じけちを指します。penurious looks like a word for being poor, but it describes the refusal to spend that parsimony names, not the poverty of indigent. |
| philanthropic adj | ＋ | ●● | giving generously to good causes — 慈善的な |
| pittance n | − | ●● | an insultingly small sum — すずめの涙 |
| privation n | − | ●● | the state of going without necessities — 生活の欠乏 |

| stingy adj | − | ●● | unwilling to give or spend — けちな |
