问答题

[听力原文]Often the origin of a word can reveal a great deal about its true meaning. This is certainly true of the words habit and addiction , which entered the English language many centuries ago. Addict is a term that originated in Roman law, when it referred to a person who was formally made over or bound to another or attached by restrain or obligation. Habit , on the other hand, originally referred to the way in which a person held or exhibited himself, as in his manner of dress. The original meaning of habit has been retained in the essential expressions nun’s habit and riding habit . The difference in etymology reflects the essential difference between the actual phenomena of habit and addiction. The principal characteristics of addiction is a loss of control and freedom, while a habit is something that is assumed, perhaps often, but that can nevertheless, be removed if desired.
