词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

adj.(形容词)

plain作形容词的基本意思是“清晰的,明白的”,指能被人清楚地看到或听到。plain作“朴素的,简单的,平常的”解时,可指衣着朴素,缺乏装饰; 也可指人的相貌平常,没有特别引人注目之处。plain作“坦白的,坦率的,真诚的”解时,一般指人的行为和思想。plain作以上解释时在句中可用作定语或表语。

plain还可作“完全的,十足的,彻底的”解,在句中只用作定语,无比较级和*高级形式。

当plain的主语是动词不定式或that从句时,常用于形式主语结构。

n.(名词)

plain用作名词意思是“平原”,指起伏极小,海拔较低的广大平地,常用作复数形式。

adj.(形容词)

plain, ugly

这两个词都可表示“难看的”。其区别是：

1.ugly语气较强烈,指“难看的,难听的,丑陋的”,可指人或物,着重于“令人不快的”。

2.plain强调脸部外貌缺乏某种能引起兴趣或吸引人的特征。例如:

From a rather plain child she had grown into a beautiful woman.她从一个相貌平平的孩子长成了一个美丽的女子。

The girl has a good figure but a plain face.那个女孩子体形很美,但长相一般。

☆ 1300年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的plain；*初源自拉丁语的planus，意为平的，平地。
