apathy

这个词来自于希腊语 "apathes"，由 "a-" (没有) 和 "pathos" (感情, 热情) 组成。"pathos" 是个常见词根，你还可以在同行词语 sympathetic（有同情心的）或 empathetic（有同理心的）中找到它。

["n. 冷漠，无兴趣，漠不关心；无感情"]

They told me about isolation and public apathy.

他们向我讲述了孤立感与公众的冷漠。

Apathy is the long-standing curse of democracy.

冷漠是民主的长期祸根。

There is widespread apathy among the electorate.

选民普遍态度冷淡。

记忆 "apathy" 这个词，你可以联想一下，当一个人对所做的事情没有任何热情（Passion），那他的行为就会让人觉得"A"（一个）-"Pathy"（Passion），也就是没有热情，没有兴趣。
