词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

adj.(形容词)

adequate的基本意思是数量或程度上“充分的,足够的”,指仅够某事或某场合之所需,而不会超过很多。adequate也可指性质或质量上“适当的,适度的,正好合适的”,指达到要求,符合客观标准。adequate还可指能力或资历等“胜任的”“尚可的,差强人意的”,指合乎一个不太高或不太严格的标准。

adequate在句中多用作表语,后接介词to表示“恰当的”“称职的”“令人满意的”,接介词for表示“足够的”。adequate有时也可用作定语。

adequate不用于比较等级。

adj.(形容词)

adequate, ample, enough, sufficient

这组词都有“足够的”意思。其区别在于：

1.enough为一般用语,有时可与adequate互换。enough常用来表示数量或程度,不宜用于表示性质、质量; 而adequate既可用于描述数量或程度,也可用于描述性质、质量。

2.adequate表示“仅够满足”“恰好满足”; enough和sufficient还可表示足够满足; 而ample表示充足而有余,即ample>sufficient>enough>adequate。

3.sufficient与enough同义,确切程度比 enough 大,前者多用于需要的满足,后者则多用于欲望的满足; 前者多用于书面语,后者多用于口语。

☆ 1610年左右进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的adquatus，意为平均的。
