單字講座 48:confident (adj)/ confidential (adj)

從2300萬筆戶政資料外洩,到健保署高官盜賣民眾個資長達13年,不難看出資安已漏洞百出,詐騙或行銷電話接好接滿也因而成為生活日常。希望2024年政府能出重拳打詐,讓我們不再因個資外洩而心慌慌。話說機密資料是 confident information 還是  confidential information 呢?下方說分明!






▍confident (adj) 有信心有把握的 = assured / certain

▶ 例 1:我們有信心可打敗對手。
We are confident that we will defeat our opponents.
= We are confident of defeating our opponents.
(註)常用的句型:be confident that S + V/ be confident in(或 about / of) N

▍confidential (adj) 機密的 = secret
動詞 confide in sb 意指「交心、信任」某人,所以才會將機密的(confidential)事情告訴他。

▶ 例 1:政府正設法應對大量機密資料外洩,其中包含軍事計畫的細節。
The government is grappling with a huge leak of confidential information that includes details of military plans.
