#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#-3-安心、放心 Both verbs are used to indicate a frame of mind being at ease. Whereas 安心 stresses serenity as a result of a feeling of safty and security, 放心 generally indicates peace of mind because there is no cause for worry or anxiety. So, 他不安心公司的工作 would express the idea that he is not happy or his mind is not at ease with his job at the present company because of various reasons, implying his possible departure, whereas 他不放心公司的工作， on the contrary, would show that he is worrying about the current work at the company lest problems occur, indicating his serious attitude towards his work. As another example, 工作没做完，我怎么能安心呢？（With the job unfinished, how could I set my mind at ease?）stresses "my" anxiety about the possibility that we might not be able to finish the job on time or about other external concerns, whereas 工作没做完，我怎么能放心呢？（With the job unfinished, how could I feel relieved?）has more to do with "my" concern that there might be some specific problems with our work itself. In general, the objects of 安心 are things only, while those of 放心 can be either people or things. In terms of usage, the affirmative and negative forms of both 安心 and 放心 can also be 安下心来，安不下心来 and 放下心来，放不下心来or 放心不下 respectively. Different from 安心，however,放心 can take as its object a noun phrase or a clause only in a negative or interrogative sentence, and not in an afirmative sentence.
