用法讲解
- severe的基本意思是“严厉的”,指完全没有松弛、轻浮、柔软可言,可形容人及其面容、行为、思想、言论,也可形容与人有关的事物,如作风、法律、刑罚等,偶尔也可形容天气,指气候恶劣、严寒。
- severe还可指“朴素的”，例：a severe literary style（朴素的文体）。
- severe, serious
-
- severe和serious都可表示“严重的”。但表示“伤势严重”时只能用severe。例如:
- He received severe leg injuries in the accident.在事故中他的腿部受了重伤。
- She was laid up for a year with a very serious〔severe〕 illness.她由于病重而卧床一年。
- severe, stern, strict
-
- 这组词的共同意思是“严格的”或“严厉的”。它们之间的区别是：
- 1.strict通常用于指对人的行为要求符合规范,一般译为“严格的”; severe多指由于客观需要而不能轻易改变规则和要求,含有冷酷无情之义,一般译为“严厉的”; stern则含有坚定不可动摇之义,多由人的性格所决定,一般译为“严谨的”。试比较：
- She was very strict on discipline.
- 她严格遵守纪律。
- She is a severe judge.
- 她是个严厉的法官。
- Father's face wore a stern expression.
- 父亲面色严峻。
- 2.在语气上, severe最重, stern次之, strict则相对较轻。
