Disposition is close in meaning to temperament but emphasises habitual tendencies and attitudes rather than emotional reactivity. In law, disposition refers to the distribution of property or assets. In formal or literary English, it often appears with adjectives: a cheerful disposition, a nervous disposition, a natural disposition towards generosity.

'disposition'与'temperament'（气质）含义相近，但更侧重于习惯性倾向和态度，而非情绪反应性。在法律用语中，disposition指财产或资产的处置。在正式或文学英语中，它常与形容词搭配使用：a cheerful disposition（开朗的性情）、a nervous disposition（神经质的性情）、a natural disposition towards generosity（天生慷慨的性情）。

Disposition tiene un significado cercano al de temperament, pero pone el acento en las tendencias y actitudes habituales más que en la reactividad emocional. En el ámbito jurídico, disposition se refiere a la distribución de bienes o patrimonio. En inglés formal o literario, suele aparecer con adjetivos: a cheerful disposition (carácter alegre), a nervous disposition (carácter nervioso), a natural disposition towards generosity (inclinación natural a la generosidad).

dispositionはtemperament（気質）に近い意味を持つが、情動反応性よりも習慣的な傾向や態度を強調する。法律用語では、財産や資産の処分を指す。フォーマルな英語や文学的な英語では、形容詞を伴って使われることが多い。例えば、a cheerful disposition（陽気な性分）、a nervous disposition（神経質な性分）、a natural disposition towards generosity（生来の寛大さ）などである。

성향(disposition)은 기질(temperament)과 의미가 유사하지만, 감정적 반응성보다는 습관적 경향과 태도를 강조한다. 법률에서 disposition은 재산이나 자산의 처분을 의미한다. 격식체나 문학적 영어에서는 a cheerful disposition(쾌활한 성격), a nervous disposition(불안한 성격), a natural disposition towards generosity(타고난 관대한 성향)처럼 형용사와 함께 자주 쓰인다.
