用法讲解
adj. (形容词)
- adequate的基本意思是数量或程度上“充分的,足够的”,指仅够某事或某场合之所需,而不会超过很多。adequate也可指性质或质量上“适当的,适度的,正好合适的”,指达到要求,符合客观标准。adequate还可指能力或资历等“胜任的”“尚可的,差强人意的”,指合乎一个不太高或不太严格的标准。
- adequate在句中多用作表语,后接介词to表示“恰当的”“称职的”“令人满意的”,接介词for表示“足够的”。adequate有时也可用作定语。
- adequate不用于比较等级。
-
adequate后接to或者for的时候，有时表达相同的意思。

adj. (形容词)
- adequate, ample, enough, sufficient
-
- 这组词都有“足够的”意思。其区别在于：
- 1.enough为一般用语,有时可与adequate互换。enough常用来表示数量或程度,不宜用于表示性质、质量; 而adequate既可用于描述数量或程度,也可用于描述性质、质量。
- 2.adequate表示“仅够满足”“恰好满足”; enough和sufficient还可表示足够满足; 而ample表示充足而有余,即ample>sufficient>enough>adequate。
- 3.sufficient与enough同义,确切程度比 enough 大,前者多用于需要的满足,后者则多用于欲望的满足; 前者多用于书面语,后者多用于口语。
- adequate，enough，sufficient
-
- 这些形容词均含“足够的，充足的”之意。
- adequate指数量上足够，质量上适当。
- enough最普通用词，口语、书面语可用，较侧重分量或数量的足够，多指希望的满足。
- sufficient正式用词，侧重数目或数量或程度达到某一特定要求或需要。
