  • 词义辨析
  • quiet, calm, peaceful, silent, still
  • 这组形容词共同的意思是“安静”“平静”“寂静”。它们的区别在于:
    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。

  • 这三个短语意思并不相同:at quiet的意思是“安定地”; in quiet的意思是“安静地”; 而on the quiet的意思是“秘密地”。
  • quiet, quietness, quietude
  • 这三个词都可作“寂静,平静,清静”解。它们的区别在于:quiet表示事物的状态或气氛; quietness指人或物所展示出来的一种品质; quietude则表示人的习惯。例如:
