这两个词在这里不好区分,特别是只看汉语意思。所以,最好的区分方法就是【参照英语解释】。identity:the distinct personality of an individual regarded as a persisting entity作为独立实体所具有的鲜明特征/区分人格personalitythe complex of all the attributes--behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental--that characterize a unique individual所有属性的综合体——行为的、气质的、情感的和心理的属性,表示一个独特个体所给句子中,后面有关键信息词【 you respect them as an individual 】,表明强调【人格】。
