1. 1

    A calm, untroubled state about something that other people find worrying. It is a noun, and it is not the same as simply not knowing — the situation is there, you have seen it, and it does not disturb you. That is why the word almost always carries a hint of judgement from the speaker: *she watched the argument with complete unconcern* suggests the speaker thinks she perhaps should have cared. It often appears with *with*, *at*, or *about*: with unconcern, unconcern at the news, unconcern about the cost. Sometimes it is admiration — a doctor's unconcern in an emergency is steadiness. More often it is a mild criticism, close to indifference or coolness. It is a formal, literary word; in speech people say *he didn't seem bothered* or *she didn't care*. You will meet it most often in novels and in serious journalism, frequently in phrases like *an air of unconcern* or *studied unconcern* — that second one meaning the calm is put on for show, and the person actually does care underneath.

    漠不關心、毫不在意(帶有「別人都在擔心,他卻無所謂」的意味,書面語)

組成un- (not) + concern (worry, care about). Recorded in English from about 1660–1670. Concern comes from Latin concernere, originally 'to sift together, to mix', which later shifted to 'to relate to, to matter to someone' — and from 'this matters to me' came 'this worries me'.
