accountability、answerable和responsible区别

这些形容词的共有意思是有义务对可能惩罚失误的当权者作出答复的，如对自己的行为。
1.Responsible often implies the satisfactory performance of duties, the adequate discharge of obligations, or the trustworthy care for or disposition of possessions:
Responsible 常意指满意地履行义务、充分地行使职责或对其所有物可靠的照料或处置：
“I am responsible for the ship's safety” (Robert Louis Stevenson).
“我对轮船的安全负责” （罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂芬森）。
“The people had given him his command, and to the people alone he was responsible” (J.A. Froude).
“人民已给了他管理的权利，所以他对人民负责” (J.A.弗劳德）。
2.Answerable suggests a moral or legal responsibility subject to review by a higher authority:
Answerable 指接受高一级权威评判的道德或法律的责任：
The court held the parents answerable for their minor child's acts of vandalism.
法庭要求父母对于其未成年孩子恶意破坏文物的行为负责。
Accountable especially emphasizes the requirement to give an account of one's discharge of a responsibility entrusted to one:
3.Accountable 尤强调对委托给某人的职责的执行情况作出交代：
“The liberal philosophy holds that enduring governments must be accountable to someone beside themselves; that a government responsible only to its own conscience is not for long tolerable” (Walter Lippmann).
“自由派哲学认为长久的政府必须对除自己以外的他人负责；一个仅对自己良心负责的政府是不能持久的” （沃尔特·李普曼）。
