近义词辨析
beautiful, good looking, handsome, lovely, pretty这组词均含有“美丽”、“漂亮”、“可爱”的意思。
beautiful
指能不仅给人带来感官上的快乐,而且通过感官产生思想和灵魂的愉悦,在同类词中层次最高。
例句:She was even more beautiful than I had remembered.她比我记忆中的她更漂亮了。
good looking
不如handsome, pretty意思强烈,指一般的“好看”或“悦目”。
例句:That good looking young man visited the house once or twice a week.那个长相不错的年轻人一星期光顾一两次。
handsome
通常是一种客观的不带感情色彩的评价。一个人如被形容为handsome,是指此人外貌符合观察者的要求,但不激发更深层的感受。
例句:He looked very handsome in his dark suit.他穿深色西装显得非常英俊。
lovely
比感官的快乐更进一步,是强调纯粹情感上的愉悦,指觉得某人或某物“可爱”。
例句:Mary has two lovely daughters.玛丽有两个可爱的女儿。
pretty
也是“漂亮、可爱”的意思。很少形容大而有影响力的事物,多形容事物不以其优秀、完美而以小巧、优雅、精致见长,使人容易接受并喜爱。
例句:Her boyfriend believes that she is the prettiest girl in the town.她男朋友觉得她是镇上最漂亮的女孩。
