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(cè)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(fù)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。

frank, open, plain, blunt, honest, sincere, straightforward

這些形容詞都有"坦率,誠實"之意。

  • frank: 強調(diào)毫無保留地暢所欲言,不受任何約束。
  • open: 指不隱瞞自己的秘密,愿意向他人表露自己或公開暴露自己的缺點。
  • plain: 指直言不諱,毫不做作或故弄玄虛。

  • honest: 指遵守正直等道德準則。
  • sincere: 側(cè)重指一個人出自內(nèi)心地對某人某事表示一種誠意。
