用法讲解
adj. (形容词)
- clever的基本意思是“灵巧”。可指人身体的灵巧,也可指人“心灵(思维敏捷、足智多谋)”或“手巧”。强调能较快地理解并正确掌握和应用所学的知识或技能。在口语中，clever可作“精明的,耍小聪明的”解,此时常有贬义。clever在句中可用作定语、表语或补语。
- clever前可用very修饰。其比较级为cleverer,最高级为cleverest。
- clever是具有评价意义的形容词,可接动词不定式来说明主语在哪些方面存在形容词所表示的特点,如该动词不定式另有逻辑主体,则须用介词of引出; 接at表示“擅长某种活动或研究课题”; 接with表示“擅长使用”。
- clever(单数)前加the,表示一类人。
adj. (形容词)
- clever at, clever with
-
- clever at的意思是“擅长”,指擅长某项活动,擅长某学科; clever with的意思是“善于使用”,可接工具、器械等名词。例如:
- He is clever at translation.他擅长翻译。
- He is clever with spade.他擅长使用铁铲。
- clever, bright, intelligent, shrewd, smart, wise
-
- 这组形容词的共同意思是“聪明的”“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”。其区别在于:
- 1.bright一般指年轻人,尤指小孩的聪明、机警; wise指“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”; smart指“头脑敏捷的”“精明老练的”,常指思维能力很强,办事巧妙,能圆滑地处理人际关系等,有时也带有表面的或肤浅的色彩; clever指“聪明的”“伶俐的”“能干的”,尤指很有理解或学习能力的; shrewd指“机灵的”“敏锐的”“精明的”,表示谙于世故,对事物浅尝辄止,遇事老谋深算,从不忽略个人私利; intelligent指某人是“聪明的”“智力好的”,善于作出正确的判断。例如:
- In some schools, the bright pupils tutor the dull ones.在一些学校里,一些聪明的学生辅导迟钝的学生。
- She was wise to their scheme.她了解他们的诡计。
- He is so smart that he will jump at the chance.他这个人很有头脑,不会错过这个机会的。
- Jack is a clever student.杰克是个聪明伶俐的学生。
- I think you've made a shrewd investment there.我认为你在那方面的投资极为聪明。
- Elephants are intelligent animals.象是聪明的动物。
- 2.bright强调反应快; wise强调有判断力的、能明辨是非的; intelligent强调思维清楚、理解力强。例如:
- Tom is a bright scholar in the class.汤姆在班上是个聪明的学生。
- It is wise to keep out of debt.不借债是明智的。
- He was intelligent enough to understand my question from the gestures I made.他很聪明,从我的手势就明白了我的问题。
- clever, expert, ingenious, proficient, skilled
-
- 这组词意思不同：ingenious意为“机灵的”,常指人的头脑聪明,有发明的才能; clever意为“聪明的”,使用较广泛,着重于学习,表示学得快、解决问题快; expert意为“有专门技巧的,熟练的”,强调有经验的或在某方面特别精明、熟练; proficient意为“精通的,熟练的”,常指擅长于某事,侧重技艺或科学方面; skilled意为“熟练的,有技能的”,强调实际的,真正的功夫。
- 下面两个句子的意思不同:
-
- Clever as he was, he passed the exam- ination with ease.
- 他由于很聪明,考试很容易通过了。
- Clever as he was, he didn't pass the exam- ination.
- 虽然他聪明,但他没有考及格。
- bright，clever，wise，brilliant，intelligent，ingenious，smart，shrewd
-
- 这些形容词均含有“聪明的”之意。
- bright口语常用词，多指年轻人，尤指小孩思路敏捷，理解力强，机灵等。
- clever强调头脑灵活，接受新事物快，有智有谋，但不一定暗示全面妥当地考虑问题。
- wise侧重不是一般的聪明伶俐，而是有远见，有智慧，能明智地处理问题。
- brilliant指人的才华出众，思路敏捷，常令人赞叹不已。
- intelligent正式用词，指在理解新的、抽象东西或处理解决问题时，智力超过一般常人。
- ingenious指思路敏捷，并暗示有创造与发明的才能和技巧。
- smart普通用词，与bright和clever的意思很相近，但更强调机灵。
- shrewd指精明老练，有头脑，善于判断和把握有利机会。
