动物和宠物饲养经常碰到intact一词,其含义为“未被阉割的”,如

【例句1】The lamb was a six-month-old intact male. (这是长了六个月的未去势公羊。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句2】Owners of intact dogs will have to pay $50 for a license compared to $9. (未绝育狗的主人将不得不支付50美元的许可证费用,而不是9美元。 ) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句3】Feral cats should be neutered as intact animals are more likely to attack humans. (野猫应该绝育,因为未去势的动物更有可能攻击人类。 )[剑桥高级学者辞典]

intact大约于15世纪在英语中使用。它源自拉丁语 intactus,后者in-为否定前缀。tactus是动词tangere的过去分词。tangere的含义是touch(接触)。

因此intact的含义是“未被接触的,未受玷污的,未受伤害的,未受损伤的,完整,完好无损的”。

除了上面的“未被阉割的”用法外,intact还有其它用法。

用法二,指物理上完整的,与原始相同的,如

【例句4】They found the intact skull of a mammoth. (他们发现了一头猛犸象的完整头骨。 ) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句5】Most of the cargo was left intact after the explosion. (爆炸后,大部分货物完好无损。)[柯林斯高级学者辞典]

【例句6】Only the medieval tower had remained intact. (只有中世纪的塔楼完好无损。) [朗文当代英语词典;remain可以是系动词]

【例句7】Most of the house remains intact even after two hundred years. (即使两百年后,房子的大部分仍然完好无损。)[牛津高级学者辞典]

【例句8】The church was destroyed in the bombing but the altar survived intact. (教堂在轰炸中被毁,但祭坛完好无损。)[剑桥高级学者辞典; 这里survive似乎是系动词]

用法3,指事情或局面未被破坏或打破,如

【例句9】His reputation survived intact.(他的声誉完好无损。)[朗文当代英语词典]

【例句10】He emerged from the trial with his reputation intact. (他从审判中走出来,声誉完好无损。)[牛津高级学者辞典]

【例句11】It's difficult to emerge from such a scandal with your reputation intact. (在这样的丑闻中,你的声誉很难完好无损。)[剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句12】A year later, her undefeated record is still intact. (一年后,她的不败纪录仍然未被打破。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句13】If the family unit is still intact, the patient frequently does very well. (如果家庭完整,患者常常会表现非常好。)[柯林斯高级学者辞典]

从intact派生的副词intactly和名词intactness用的非常少。

名词integrity源自拉丁语integer, 往前能追到in-+tangere, 也就是与intact同源。

integrity的含义是“完整、完好、诚实正直”。
