用法讲解
- terrible的基本意思是“可怕的,恐怖的”,指具有较大力量的某事物能造成极度的、令人不安的恐惧,若不加以减缓,则会达到令人痛苦得无法忍受的程度,含有感情上厌恶的意味,一般不用于人,也可指“令人震惊的,极其令人讨厌的”“剧烈的,严酷的,严重的”。
- 在非正式语体里, terrible还可作“很糟的,极差的”解; 在美国俚语中, terrible可作“极妙的,了不起的”解。
- terrible在句中可用作定语或表语。
- terrible, afraid, awful, fearful, frightful, horrible, scared
-
- 这组词都有“可怕的”“害怕的”意思。其区别在于:afraid泛指一种“恐惧心理”,多用于习惯地、经常地“惧怕”; awful指由于过分的崇敬或畏惧而引起的害怕,但不厌恶,有较庄严的含义; fearful指预感到危险、失败或麻烦时而恐惧,也指担心可能发生的结果,侧重于主体的心里感觉,而与外界关系不大; scared主要指因身心遭受伤害而恐惧,也指不明根源的无形恐惧; frightful指巨大的或令人意外的事件给人带来的害怕或惊骇; terrible和horrible都可指感情上的厌恶,令人感到不舒服, horrible更甚,指碰到的怪诞的、丑陋的、危险的事物或道德上腐败堕落的行为所引起的强烈的情绪波动,还特指依靠恐怖的或可怕的事物取得吓人的效果。例如:
