用法讲解
- contrary用作形容词时,基本意思是“相反的,相违的”,指在性质、倾向或方向等上与某事物或某人完全相反的,引申可表示“逆风的,不利的,不作美的,不合人意的”; 亦可作“顽固的,固执的,倔强的”解,此时发音为[kən'treəri] 。
- contrary用作名词时,多和定冠词the连用且用单数形式,表示“相反,反面,对立面”。
- contrary, opposite
-
- 这两个词的共同意思是“相反的”。其区别在于:
- 1.opposite指位置、方向、性质、意义等对立、相反,不一定有对抗的意味,强调分离。
- 2.contrary指“对立的”,常有对抗的含义,强调敌对矛盾和冲突。例如:
- I am of a contrary opinion.我有相反的意见。
- on the contrary, on the other hand
-
- 前者用于表示相反的意见,强调否认或反驳; 而后者用于说明问题的另一方面,即“另一方面,但是,然而”。
- opposite,contrary,adverse,reverse,converse
-
- 这些形容词均含“相反的、对立的”之意。
- opposite指位置、方向、行动或想法等完全相反。
- contrary一般指与某种主张、看法或行为等正好相反,隐含否定一方并不意味着肯定另一方的意味。
- adverse通常指违害利益的、无生命的势力或条件等,侧重分歧。
- reverse指朝相反方向的或反面(背面)的。
- converse指在方向、行动或意见上相反的。
