同義詞辨析

apparent, obvious, evident, clear, plain, distinct, definite, manifest

這些形容詞均含"清楚的,明白的,明顯的"之意。

  • apparent:強調(diào)顯而易見或一想便知。這個詞從動詞appear派生而來,故有時含有表面如此而事實上未必的意味。
  • obvious:語氣較強,指極為明顯,有目共睹,無需說明和論證。
  • evident:指根據(jù)事實成為顯然的。
  • clear:普通用詞,側重清楚明白。
  • plain:普通用詞,含義與clear很接近,可通用,但plain著重簡單明了,不復雜。
  • distinct:較正式用詞,指輪廓的清楚或定義、含義的明確,不會弄錯。
  • definite:語氣肯定,著重明白無誤,無可懷疑。
  • manifest:語義較強,書面用詞,強調(diào)一目了然,暗示不要任何推論就一清二楚。

explicit, definite, specific, express

這些形容詞均含"明確的"之意。

  • specific: 強調(diào)內(nèi)容明確,毫不抽象、籠統(tǒng)。

sure, certain, definite, positive

這些形容詞均含"無疑的,確信的"之意。
