词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

adj.(形容词)

precious指的是事物内在的价值,常常由于稀有而宝贵,即“宝贵的,珍贵的,贵重的,珍爱的”,这种珍贵无法用钱衡量,失掉后无法补偿。precious可修饰具体名词,也可修饰抽象名词,还可修饰人和人的感情。有时也用于反语,有讽刺意味,这时无比较级和*高级形式。

precious也可指语言风格或举止“过于矫揉造作的,过分讲究的”,常用于贬义。

precious在口语中还可表示“十足的”“完全的”,用于加强语气。

adj.(形容词)

precious, valuable

这两个词的共同意思是“贵重的”。其区别是：

precious指任何无法用钱衡量的珍贵的东西,尤其适用于失掉后无法补偿的东西,还可用于人的感情方面; valuable指任何值钱的或可以带来巨额利润的、非常有用的或受人珍视的东西。例如:

The land is quite valuable.这块地很值钱。

We have already taken up too much of your valuable time.我们占用了你许多的宝贵时间。

He is a valuable partner.他是个很难得的伙伴。

☆ 13世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的precios；*初源自拉丁语的pretiosus，意为价值，价格。
