a state of inner calm
A feeling of being very calm and peaceful, without worry or stress.
用法模式：
[someone]'s tranquillity; a sense of tranquillity
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "tranquillity" (a noun) with "tranquil" (an adjective). For example, they may say *"I feel very tranquillity"* instead of "I feel very tranquil" or "I feel a lot of tranquillity." Another common issue is spelling: British English uses "tranquillity" (double l), while American English usually uses "tranquility" (single l). The word is usually uncountable, so we say "I need some tranquillity," not *"I need a tranquillity."*

常见错误：
Learners sometimes think "tranquillity" means complete silence, but it usually means a calm, peaceful atmosphere, which can include soft natural sounds like wind or water. They also sometimes use it as an adjective, writing *"a tranquillity village"* instead of "a tranquil village" or "a village full of tranquillity."

|
