词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

cool, chilly, cold

• 这三个词的共同意思是“温度低,冷的”。其区别是：
• 1.从温度上说, chilly最冷, cold次之, cool再次之。chilly指“寒冷”, cold指“冷”, cool指“凉爽”。
• 2.从人的心理上说, chilly是人所不愿; cold多指人所不愿、令人不快,也可指所期望的低温,为人所愿意; cool则多指温度宜人,令人感到舒服。例如:
• I felt chilly in the wind.风吹得我感到寒冷。
• He has only a cold drink on a hot day.在大热天里他只有一杯冷饮。
• We hope for a cool day for the game.我们希望比赛那天天气凉爽。
• 3.用于人时，cool指心境平和、冷静, cold指冷落、不热情,而chilly则不仅指不热情,而且不友好,甚至“冷酷”。

cold，cool，chilly，frosty，freezing，icy

• 这些形容词均含“冷、凉”之意。
• cold最普通用词，强调缺乏温暖，使人不舒服。
• cool指既不太热也不太冷。
• chilly指使哆嗦的冷。
• frosty指雾气在寒冷物体的表面凝结成薄冰时的严寒结霜的温度。
• freezing指使人僵直，使东西凝固的冷。
• icy多指风暴、风雪和水等冷得使人感到如刺如割。
