올바른 표현

• 法律规定，具有直系血缘关系的近亲属不得缔结婚姻，这一禁止性规定旨在防止近亲结婚所带来的遗传风险。(The law stipulates that close relatives with a direct blood relationship may not enter into marriage; this prohibition is designed to prevent the genetic risks associated with consanguineous marriages.)
• 心理学研究表明，血缘关系固然重要，但童年时期的情感依附与家庭环境对人格发展的影响往往更为深远。(Psychological research indicates that while blood ties are certainly important, the emotional attachments and family environment of childhood often have a far more profound influence on personality development.)

피해야 할 표현
