Do not confuse the adjectivecallous, as in Years of dealing with criminals had left her callous, with the noun callus, as inI have a callus on my thumb. The verbscallous and callus mean respectively .to make or become callous. and .to form or develop hardened tissue..
不要把形容詞callous ，如句子 數(shù)年與罪犯打交道的經(jīng)歷使她心腸硬起來了， 與名詞 callus 相混淆， 如下句我拇指上結(jié)繭了。 動(dòng)詞callous 與 callus 分別指為.使變硬或成為結(jié)繭的.和.形成或發(fā)展已變硬的組織.
