善意 的英文怎麼說?

[1] (adverb) out of goodwill; out of good intentions; in good faith[2] (adjective) good-hearted; nice; well-intentioned; well-meant; well-meaning; good-natured[3] (verb) mean well[4] (noun) goodwill

這些詞可以指善意的正面舉動或負面舉動, 例如有個人向老闆告狀你的問題但是出自善意, 而不是出自於壞心眼. 在[2]裡, nice 可說是最單純最普遍的字; well-meant 用在事物 (a well-meant criticism), 其他可用在物或人 (a well-intentioned salesperson).
