Courage and bravery both mean facing fear or danger without giving up. Courage is broader: an inner quality, not needing real physical danger, like courage to speak in public. Bravery is narrower, meaning brave action in a truly dangerous situation, and sounds more formal.

这两个词都指“不因恐惧或危险而退缩的品质”，但 courage 泛指面对任何令人害怕的事（不一定有实际危险），既可以是内心的心理素质，也可以用于日常场合；bravery 更强调在真正危险或艰难处境中表现出来的、外显的勇敢行为，常与英雄行为、救援等场景搭配，语气也略显正式。
