基本释义
[adjective] acting with or showing care and thought for the future
[形容词] 表现出或行动带着对未来的忧虑和思考的
深入解读
Prudent 是一个与熟词 student 结尾相同的单词，同时也易与 impudent （粗鲁的）相混淆。
该词源自拉丁语 providere （前瞻、准备、供应、有远见地行动），14世纪末经古法语 prudent （有知识的、审慎的）或者直接由拉丁语 prudentem （有知识的、熟练的、睿智的、谨慎的）进入英语后，也是用来表示“谨慎的、审慎的、精明的、深谋远虑的”，常意味着对未来的忧虑或思考，特别是考虑到未来的困难和需求，并通常提前准备好所需的东西，比如：
- 签合同前先好好看一下，这样做永远都是明智的。
It's always prudent to read a contract carefully before signing it. - 该共和国现任总统的施政风格时而轻率鲁莽，时而谨慎务实。
The incumbent president of the Republic oscillated between a facile audacity and a prudent realism.
