recklessly
意味: With a complete disregard for danger, consequences, or the safety of others; acting in a rashly irresponsible manner.
Recklessly is a key term in both everyday English and law. In criminal law, recklessness is a specific mens rea standard — acting with awareness of risk but proceeding regardless. Outside legal contexts, it describes driving, spending, gambling, or any behaviour that shows wilful indifference to harm. It is stronger than 'carelessly' and implies conscious disregard rather than mere inattention.
