词义辨析

apparent，obvious，evident，clear，plain，distinct，definite，manifest

• 这些形容词均含“清楚的，明白的，明显的”之意。
• apparent强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来，故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。
• obvious语气较强，指极为明显，有目共睹，无需说明和论证。
• evident指根据事实成为显然的。
• clear普通用词，侧重清楚明白。
• plain普通用词，含义与clear很接近，可通用，但plain着重简单明了，不复杂。
• distinct较正式用词，指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确，不会弄错。
• definite语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。
• manifest语义较强，书面用词，强调一目了然，暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。

distinct，distinctive

• 这是两个形近单词。
• distinct意思是“分明的”、“明了的”、“清楚的”（well－marked，clearly defined or easily discernible）。distinct还可用以表示“不同的”、“有区别的”意味。
• distinctive意思是“表示差别的”、“有特色的”、“特殊的”（marking or showing a difference）。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的distinctus。
