Not caring about other people’s pain or feelings; very cruel.
用法模式：
[someone/something] is heartless
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "heartless" with "careless". "Heartless" means cruel and not caring about other people’s feelings, while "careless" means not being careful or paying enough attention. They also sometimes use "heartless" to mean "without energy" or "discouraged"; in that case, "disheartened" or "discouraged" is correct, not "heartless".
近义词
cruel (General word for causing pain or suffering, sometimes without the strong emotional coldness that "heartless" suggests.)

callous (Suggests being emotionally hardened or numb, often over a long time, not easily moved by others’ pain.)
|
unfeeling (Emphasizes the lack of emotional response more than active meanness.)
反义词
kind (Shows care and concern for others, the opposite of the cold attitude in "heartless".)
