Unmoved is the weakest of these words because it describes sb not reacting to sb else's distress or anger, not sb who actively causes sb else's distress. Hard, callous and heartless can describe sb reacting without sympathy to sb's distress, or sb actively doing things that hurt people without caring about the effects on those people. Ruthless and cold-blooded are stronger still: a ruthless person will do anything to get what they want; a cold-blooded person not only feels no sympathy, but feels no emotions at all (such as anger) that might explain their cruel behaviour. * unmoved在这些词中表达的冷漠程度最弱，因为它指的是某人对他人的痛苦或愤怒未作出反应，而非某人做了某事使得别人痛苦。hard、callous和heartless可形容某人对别人痛苦没有同情心，或实际上做伤害他人、不顾及他人感受的事。ruthless和cold-blooded表达的冷漠程度更高：ruthless意味着为达目的会不择手段，cold-blooded意味着不但没有同情心，而且根本就没有感情（比如愤怒），其冷酷行为在情感上无法解释。■ brutal ˈbruːtl (usually disapproving) direct and clear about sth unpleasant; not thinking of people's feelings 直截了当的；冷酷的◆With brutal honesty she told him she did not love him.她冷酷地直接告诉他，她不爱他。   see also brutal ⇨ cruel ▸ brutally

adverb

◆Let me be brutally frank about this.让我把这件事无情地挑明吧。
