参加征文:这是哪国的英文?- per se

竟然没有人提这个。

per se,来自拉丁,所以需要写成斜体字,但是成为英语单词已经400多年了!意思是by, of, for, or in itself; intrinsically,中文意思就是本来,本身,本质上,就其本身而论。名词副词形容词。

随便举两个例子:
"But it's important to remember this is not about the technology, per se; It's about how it is used, " says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study's sponsors.
  "然而,重要的是不要忘记这与技术本身是无关的,问题在于如何使用因特网。"这项研究的发起人之一、心理学家、英特尔公司的克里斯廷·赖利说。

The law makes drunk driving illegal per se. (= by itself)
Well, that's not correct per se(= as one would expect from the name), but the situation is something like that.
