equanimity
意味: Mental calmness and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult or trying situation.
Equanimity goes beyond mere composure to suggest a deep, philosophical calm — an inner balance that is not easily disturbed by external events. It is associated with Stoic philosophy and Buddhist practice, and carries connotations of wisdom and maturity. It appears in formal, literary, and philosophical writing. Common collocations include 'bear with equanimity,' 'remarkable equanimity,' 'accept with equanimity,' and 'characteristic equanimity.'
