Examples
"Perhaps coming home hadn't been such a great idea after all. Instead of her mother's insouciancerubbing off on Liv, she'd just sunk further into the mires of misery as she realised that the weight of the world was resting squarely on her shoulders." — Clare Naylor, Dog Handling, 2002
回家最后也许不是一个好主意。 她没有受到母亲冷淡的影响，而是沉入痛苦的泥潭中，因为她意识到世界的重担正渐渐地落在她的肩膀上。
"… the idea of French style as we understand it today hasn't been built on craftsmanship. Rather, it's been built on a philosophy: one that proclaims the character, insoucianceand authenticity of its wearer. A prime example of it in action? On the big screen, in Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave films." — Faye Fearon, InsideHook, 4 Dec. 2020
“……我们今天所了解的法式风格并不是建立在工艺上。相反，它是建立在一种哲学之上：它宣扬了佩戴者无忧无虑和本真的的性格。它在行动上的典范是什么？ 就在大银幕上放映让·卢克·戈达尔（Jean-Luc Godard）的《新浪潮》电影中。
Did You Know?
Don't worry; be insouciant. Perhaps your mind will rest easier if we explain that English speakers learned insouciance(as well as the adjective insouciant) from the French around the early 1800s. The French word comes from a combination of the negative prefix in- and soucier, meaning "to trouble or disturb." Soucier, in turn, traces to sollicitus, the Latin word for "anxious." If it seems to you that sollicitus looks a lot like some other English words you've seen, you're on to something. That root also gave us solicit (which now means "to entreat" but which was once used to mean "to fill with concern or anxiety"), solicitude (meaning "uneasiness of mind"), and solicitous ("showing or expressing concern").
不用担心 ，be insouciant。 如果我们解释说英语的人大约在1800年初从法国学习了insousiance（以及形容词 insouciant「漫不经心的」），你可能会觉得安心。 法语单词来自前缀“in-”加“ soucier”，意为“to trouble or disturb「麻烦或妨碍」”。 反过来，Soucier 可以追溯到 sollicitus（拉丁语意思是“anxious「焦急的」”）。 如果您觉得sollicitus 看起来很像您所看到的其他一些英语单词，那么您就可以继续进行下去。 这个词根也给我们创造了 solicit（现在的意思是“anxiety「恳求」”，但曾经用来表示“to fill with concern or anxiety「充满忧郁或焦虑」”），solicitude（意思是“精神上的不安、心神不宁”）和solicitous（“showing or expressing concern「表示或表达关心、关怀」” ）。
