evil, sinful, debased, reprobate (責備;排斥;遺棄), 

degenerate (衰退;墮落;變壞);

bad, wicked, dissolute, dissipated (沈迷於酒色的;閒遊浪蕩的), 

profligate. Immoral, abandoned, depraved describe one who makes no attempt to curb self-indulgence. 



Immoral, referring to conduct, applies to one who acts contrary to or does not obey or conform to standards of morality; it may also mean licentious and perhaps dissipated. 



Abandoned, referring to condition, applies to one hopelessly, and usually passively, sunk in wickedness and unrestrained appetites. 



Depraved, referring to character, applies to one who voluntarily seeks evil and viciousness.





Immoral, amoral, nonmoral, and unmoral are sometimes confused with one another. 



[Im]moral means not moral and connotes evil or licentious behavior. 



[A]moral, nonmoral, and unmoral, virtually synonymous although the first is by far the most common form, mean utterly lacking in morals (either good or bad), neither moral nor immoral. 



However, since, in some contexts, there is a stigma implicit in a complete lack of morals, being amoral, nonmoral, or unmoral is sometimes considered just as reprehensible as being [im]moral.





　

Unlike the rest of the world, Joline believes in the sanctity of marriage. Joline is good. Joline is great. And throughout the 90-odd minutes of this offensive film, no one bothers to ask Joline how her beliefs apply to spousal or child abuse -- or what she would do if her husband's "emotional wheelchair" turned into [alcoholism] and [cigarette burns]. 



After she is literally committed to a mental ward for breaking into Carl's new house, the misunderstood Joline realizes that her values are just too pure 

for the society that she must learn to embrace. She leaves Carl, returns to New York, refocuses her [integrity] and [tenacity] on freeing Tibet and learning a martial art -- 



and takes a brave leap of faith into the depraved [real world]. 



Aren't we lucky.
