carnal: may mean only this but more often carries a derogatory connotation of an action or manifestation of a person's lower nature: a woman who was victimized by her own ~ appetites. 这里的this指记忆方法二中的基础含义: having a physical orientation or origin以满足身体为目的，但实际上等于sexual or sensual，如carnal desire/pleasure/appetite肉体欲望/感官/胃口 来此词根CARN表示flesh,meat肉，如carnage大屠杀carnal肉体的incarnate化身reincarnation转世化身carnivore食肉动物carnival狂欢节原指斋戒之前的食肉节carnation康乃馨用它最初仅有的颜色命名: 肉色，CARN是英语中第[23/259]个词根
fleshly: similar in meaning, is somewhat less derogatory than carnal: a saint who wrote at length on his ~ temptations. "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak精神上是有意愿的，但身体是软弱的"，因为flesh身体会饥渴疲劳贪图享受被诱惑，这些弱点需要由spiritual精神上的alertness警觉来temper节制
sensual: may apply to any gratification of a bodily desire or pleasure but commonly implies sexual appetite or bodily satisfaction: a place infamous for providing ~ delight. （词根SENS表示feeling,sense感觉感官，如"所以游目骋怀，足以极视听之娱，信可乐也as our eyes wander, so do our minds too. indeed, it is a pure delight for all our senses"摘自兰亭序；但sensual多表示肉体感官的享受满足，而不是艺术美感上的享受满足，如sensual desire, a sensual person，本例sensual delight贬义十分明显，为了不使用sensual这个词，诗人弥尔顿John Milton(失乐园和复乐园作者)创造了sensuous，如让人享受的微风风景绘画音乐sensuous breeze/scenery/painting/music，SENS是第[201/259]个词根，派生的两个词一个贬义/褒义） gratification就是satisfaction，但多指心理满足
animal: stresses a relation to physical as distinguished from rational nature: led a mindless, ~ existence. （rational理性usually implies the power to make logical inferences and to draw conclusions that enable one to understand things指人能正确地推理判断理解事情，如a rational being理性的人）
carnal身体肉体: 可能仅表示满足身体，但更多暗示低级需求，fleshly身体肉体: 含义近似，但贬义轻些，sensual感官享受: 可指身体享受，但通常指性欲肉体上的满足享受，animal动物般的: 只具有身体本能，缺乏理性
