同近义词辨析

only, lonely, alone

only

与alone均可表“只有”，但alone须置于被修饰词之后，only往往置于被修饰词前。如：He alone (Only he) can remember the story. (只有他才能记起这段经历。)

lonely

表“孤独”，“寂寞”，能作定语和表语。如：When she is left alone, she feels lonely. (剩下她一人时她就感到寂寞。)

alone

只表“独自”的客观状态，没有感情色彩，只作表语；

unique, single, only, alone, sole

这组词都有“唯一的”的意思，其区别是：

unique

非正式用词，侧重在一类中唯一无可匹敌、无与伦比的特征。

single

语气较强，强调仅此一个，再无第二个。

only

普通用词，常可与sole换用，但侧重仅限于指定的人或物，而不需要更多。

alone

着重专指某人或某物，而不是别的。

sole

语气强于only，指仅有一个或一群，只考虑这一个或这一群。
