broad-minded 的詞源

"不偏不倚，開明，沒有偏見或偏執"，1590年代; 參見 broad（adj.）+ -minded。這種抽象的心理意義的 broad 在古英語中就已經存在了; 例如在 bradnes “寬度”中，也包括“慷慨大方”。

[Broad-mindedness] is the capacity to take a wide and comprehensive view of truths and of their manifold bearings, to give them their proportionate emphasis, to discern their internal connection, and to discriminate between truth and caricature. It has nothing to do with compromise of any kind, nor with schemes of toleration and comprehension. [The Church Eclectic, November 1898]

[廣博的思想]是能夠廣泛而全面地看待真理及其多方面的影響，給予它們相應的重視，辨別它們的內在聯繫，並區分真理和漫畫的能力。它與任何形式的妥協或寬容和理解的計劃無關。[The Church Eclectic, November 1898]
