词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. high作形容词时,意思是“高的”“高度的”,形容高出地面或其他物体的东西,也可修饰任何比普通或一定标准高的事物,意思是“高级的”“重要的”(只用作定语)。引申还可作“极度的”“强烈的”“价值高的”“数量大的”“奢侈的”,指超过了一般的标准。
2. high还可作“高尚的”解(一般只能用作定语),指人时表示人的思想、目标、境界很高,引申还可作“全盛的”解,作此解时,一般只能用作定语且没有比较级和最高级。
3. high还可形容“声调很高”或“尖声的”,有时还可表示肉、食物等“过期”或“变质”。
4. high不用于修饰人的高度,只有在与具体数量连用时,才可用high。
5. high前可用very修饰,而其比较级higher前不可用so, quite, very修饰,只能用much修饰。
6. high可与表示数量和度量的名词构成形容词短语,可在句中作表语或定语。用作定语时须置于所修饰的名词之后,而短语中的形容词又须置于度量词之后。
7. high的比较级和最高级有两种形式:higher, highest; more high, most high。
8. high time的意思是“适宜的时机”,可接带有虚拟语气的从句或动词不定式。

adv. (副词)

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

high, tall, lofty

• 这三个词都可表示“高的”,指高度上超过一般。其区别是：
• 1.high既可修饰具体的东西,也可修饰抽象的事物; tall既可修饰人,也可修饰无生命的物; 而lofty是文语,可引申指态度、样子、神情等“高傲”“傲慢”。例如:
• The cost of living is high.生活费用很高。
• There are some very tall buildings in Hong Kong.香港有些很高的建筑物。
• I didn't like her lofty treatment of her visitors.我不喜欢她那样傲慢地对待来访者。
• 2.high多指离开地面的高度或距离; tall多指由顶到底的长度,常用于比较狭窄的东西,如人、树等; lofty有时也指思想、感情、情操等是“高尚的”“崇高的”。例如:
• It is a very high building.
• 这是一座很高的楼房。
• The ship is too tall to go under the bridge.
• 这艘船太高,桥下驶不过去。
• Those sentiments are lofty but not very practical.
• 那种思想感情是高尚的,但是不太现实。
• 3.high可以表示程度或强度“高”,而tall不可。例如:
• I can't sing at so high a pitch.我无法把音调唱得这么高。
• 4.指“山高”只能用high,不能用tall。例如:
• Mount Jolmo Lungma is the highest in the world.珠穆朗玛峰是世界最高峰。

adv. (副词)

high, highly

• 这两个词都有“高”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.high除了用作副词之外,还可用作形容词或名词; 而highly只用作副词。例如:
• I dare you to jump off the high wall.我量你也不敢跳过这堵高墙。
• He spoke highly of the hero.他高度称赞英雄。
• 2.high多用于空间高度或位置等具体的事物或目标; 而highly只用于表示“很高程度地”或用于比喻意义,意为“非常地”“高度地”。例如:
• How high did you climb?你攀登了多高?
• It's highly desirable that we should fulfil our task a few days ahead of schedule.我们如能提前几天完成任务,那就非常好。
• 3.修饰形容词或分词时也大都使用highly; 而在复合词中则多用high。例如:
• highly qualified高水平地; high-heeled shoes高跟鞋

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自中古英语的heh，意为顶端。
