  • 释义
  • 孤独的;寂寞的;偏僻的;

  • 词义辨析
  • lonely, alone
  • 这两个词词形相近,但含义并不相同。它们的区别是:
    1.alone可用作形容词,也可用作副词; lonely只能用作形容词。
    2.alone是陈述一个“独自”的客观现实,而lonely则是描述一种“寂寞的”情绪体验; alone说的是“没有伴侣”,而lonely却含有“渴望伴侣”的意味; alone基本没有感情色彩,而lonely的感情色彩却很浓。例如:
    She felt lonely when she was left alone.剩下她一人时,她感到很寂寞。
    再比较以下两句:
    Though I am alone,I am not lonely.
    虽然只有我一个人,但并不寂寞。
    Though I am not alone,I am lonely.
    虽然不只我一个人,却感到寂寞。
    再如:The few people on the street were alone and seemed lonely.街上那几个人孤零零的,显得很寂寞。
    3.lonely所表示的感觉是主体所不希望的,而alone所表示的感觉虽然多数是主体所不希望的,但也可以是主体所希望的。例如:
    Now I am alone and can do more or less whatever I like.现在我单独一个人,可以做我喜爱的事。
    There was a joy in closing the door behind the last departing guest and knowing that at last one was blessedly alone.当最后一位客人离去后,你关上门并感到终于留下自己一个人怡然自得时,该是多么高兴啊。
    4.lonely可用于地点表示偏僻,人迹罕至; 而alone不能这样用。
    5.lonely可用作前置定语,而alone只能作后置定语。例如:
    There's a lonely house in a lonely wood.在人迹罕至的树林里有一座孤零零的房子。
    Riches alone cannot bring happiness.仅仅有财富不会使人幸福。

    alone普通用词,指独自一人的状态,有时含孤寂之意。
    desolate语气强烈,强调遭受损失和失去亲人所带来的难以忍受的痛苦。
    lone较文雅,可与lonely换用。
