  • 词义辨析
  • shrewd, bright, clever, intelligent, smart, wise
  • 这组形容词共同的意思是“聪明的”“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”。它们的区别在于:
    1.bright一般指年轻人,尤指小孩的聪明、机警; wise指“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”; smart指“头脑敏捷的”“精明老练的”,常指思维能力很强,办事巧妙,能圆滑地处理人际关系等,有时也带有表面的或肤浅的色彩; clever指“聪明的”“伶俐的”“能干的”,尤指很有理解或学习能力的; shrewd指“机灵的”“敏锐的”“精明的”,表示谙于世故,对事物浅尝辄止,遇事老谋深算,从不忽略个人私利; intelligent指某人是“聪明的”“智力好的”,善于作出正确的判断。例如:
    In some schools, the bright pupils tutor the dull ones.在一些学校里,一些聪明的学生辅导迟钝的学生。
    She was wise to their scheme.她了解他们的诡计。
    He is so smart that he will jump at the chance.他这个人很有头脑,不会错过这个机会的。
    Jack is a clever student.杰克是个聪明伶俐的学生。
