这一对对都是近义词.学英语的人都知道,查英文单词,要看其英英解释:
6.拒绝.refuse态度较强硬,decline有“婉拒”之意.
7.surprised吃惊的,惊讶的.stunned呆若木鸡的,震惊的,比前者吃惊程度深.
8.fat 肥胖的,长膘那种.stout 是“壮”,长肌肉那种,可翻译成“粗壮的,结实的”.
9.谦虚的.两者原意不同,modest原意是适度的,不多也不少不卑不亢的;humble原意是地位低下或身份卑微的.所以modest是褒义,humble是贬义.
every/everyone:人数在三或三以上.例如:everyone of the three boys
each:人数在二或二以上,也就是说二三四五...都可以.each范围广于every.
10.尝试.try to do有“尽最大努力”的意思.attempt有“企图”之意,attempt英文解释中有一句“especially without succeeding”,所以attempt常常用于贬义.
11.pity“遗憾”之意,衍生出“同情”之意.sympathy同情,有“共鸣”之意.
12.famous 声名远扬的,褒义词.notorious 臭名昭著的,贬义词
13.old老的.elder年长的,辈分大的,这明显是个“委婉语”
再问: 还有lady和woman
再答: 哦,漏看了。 这跟好理解,lady和gentleman对应,woman和man对应。男人一定是man,但不一定每个都是gentleman,同样女人一定是woman,但不是每个都能称呼lady. lady:女士。 很客气的称呼 woman:女人
