de·tached

?Which word?

detached or dispassionate?

Both describe judgement free from personal feeling. Detached stresses distance from the matter; dispassionate stresses calm, unemotional judgement. Both are praise for a judge or a scientist; aloof, however, is criticism.

दोनों व्यक्तिगत भावना से मुक्त निर्णय के लिए हैं। Detached में मामले से दूरी पर ज़ोर है; dispassionate में शांत, भावनारहित निर्णय पर। जज या वैज्ञानिक के लिए दोनों प्रशंसा हैं; aloof हालाँकि आलोचना है।
