“潜意识地”常见的英文表达是 subconsciously 或 unconsciously。
subconsciously 侧重于指在潜意识层面,行为或想法受潜意识影响,但本人可能有一定程度的意识感知,只是未完全明确意识到。例如:She subconsciously adjusted her posture to appear more confident.(她潜意识地调整了姿势,以显得更自信。)
unconsciously 更强调完全无意识的状态,本人对这种行为或想法没有丝毫察觉。例如:He unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table while thinking.(他思考时不自觉地用手指轻敲桌子。)
