词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

adj.(形容词)

silent的基本意思是“寂静的,无声的”。引申可作“沉默的,只字不提的”解,可指习惯上非绝对必要的话不说,也可指在特殊场合因特殊原因而对讲话有节制。

silent还可作“不发音”解,作此解时无比较级和*高级形式。

silent在句中常用作定语或表语,偶尔也可作宾语补足语。silent作表语时,后常接介词on〔about〕引起的短语,表示“对…保持沉默,对…未提到”。

adj.(形容词)

silent, calm, peaceful, quiet, still

这组形容词的共同意思是“安静”“平静”“寂静”。其区别在于:

1.在修饰环境时各词所指的状态为:calm指风平浪静; peaceful指没有战争或骚乱; quiet指没有吵闹干扰; still指完全没有声音。例如:

The sea was calm yesterday.昨天海水是平静的。

Countries should settle their disputes by peaceful means.各国应通过和平手段解决他们的争端。

Differences among them could have been reconciled by them through peaceful consultations.他们中间的分歧本来可以由他们和平协商调解。

He had a bad headache and needed being quiet.他头疼得厉害,需要安静。

Everything was deadly still.万籁俱寂。

2.在修饰人时:calm指人心平气和,毫不激动; peaceful表示“安详的”“温和的”; quiet指性情温和、安静等,有时也指人的闲散或不活动; still指“一动不动”; silent侧重“沉默”“不说话”,但不一定不动。例如:

The teacher is peaceful when the student appeared.当这个学生出现时,这个老师很温和。

We should keep quiet in the hospital.在医院里我们应该保持安静。

His hands were never still.他的双手一刻也不停。

We've been silent for too long. It's time to speak out.我们沉默得太久了,现在是大胆地发表意见的时候了。

She sat silent in her own room.她在自己的房间里一动不动地坐着。

adj.(形容词)

请肃静。

误 Please be silence.

正 Please be silent.

析 silence用作名词或动词,不用作形容词,表示“肃静”可用silent。
