reckless
意味: Heedless of danger or the consequences of one's actions; acting with a lack of proper caution that shows indifference to risk.
Reckless is a common word in both everyday and legal English. In law, recklessness is a specific mens rea (mental state) falling between negligence and intention: the person was aware of the risk but chose to proceed regardless. 'Reckless driving,' 'reckless endangerment,' and 'reckless disregard' are established legal phrases. In general usage, it describes behaviour that is bold to the point of being irresponsible. It collocates with 'reckless abandon,' 'reckless driving,' 'reckless disregard,' and 'reckless behaviour.'
