Per se

Per se是个拉丁语,意思是"本身,本质上",和by itself的意思差不多。Per se在英语中已经有400年的历史了,常被用来表示"除去其它因素不论,单考虑事情本身"的含义,还可指"亲身,自身"。

例如:Most people know very little about educational process per se.(大多数人对于教育工作的过程本身并不了解。)

The water wings is not, per se, an undesirable gift, but it is winter now, taking it as a gift seems not a good idea.(浮水圈,就其本身而言,是个不错的礼物,但是现在是冬天,用它作礼物似乎有点不合时宜。)
