词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

neat, tidy, trig, trim

• 这组词都有“整洁的”的意思。其区别是：
• neat泛指一切的整洁、干净、单纯。tidy专指经常保持的整齐和有秩序状态,但不一定干净或单纯。例如:
• Once upon a time the universe was all tidy, with everything in its proper place.很久以前宇宙是秩序井然的,所有一切都各居其位。
• trim强调由于线条清晰、比例匀称使得外观整洁而且漂亮。例如:
• A trim ship is sailing.一条漂亮的帆船正在行驶。
• trig则特指人的外表或衣着的整洁潇洒。例如:
• He has a trig new tailored suit.他有一套裁剪合身的新衣服。

neat，tidy，trim，orderly

• 这些形容词均含“整齐的、整洁的”之意。
• neat指人或物外表既清洁又整齐。
• tidy侧重整齐，井然有序。
• trim着重因线条清晰、比例匀称而使外观紧凑、精确、美观。
• orderly语义比上述几个词强，最常用，指把复杂细微的东西按其内在联系安排整齐，侧重井井有条。

词源解说

• ☆ 1542年进入英语，直接源自盎格鲁法语的neit，意为整洁的，远离肮脏；最初源自古典拉丁语的nitidus，意为令人喜爱的，典雅的，整洁的。
