词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

particular, especial, special

• 这三个词的共同意思是“特殊的”。其区别是：
• especial强调特别的、非同寻常的; special强调专门的或特意的; particular强调事物的独特性。special和especial作“特别的”解时,意思相同,两者可以换用,但special比especial更常用。例如:
• This is a matter of especial〔special〕 importance.这是件特别重要的事。
• There is a special〔especial〕 case deserving special treatment.这里有个特殊情况需要特殊处理。
• Don't break the rules for your especial benefit.不要为了你的特殊利益而违反规定。
• He comes here only on special occasion.他只是在某些特殊情况下才到这儿来。
• He has a particular interest in English.他对英语有特殊的兴趣。

下面三个句子的意思相同,其中第一句是最普通的：

• He is too particular about what he eats and drinks.
• He is too particular over what he eats and drinks.
• He is too particular as to what he eats and drinks.
• 他过分讲究吃喝。

n. (名词)

particular about, particulars about

• 这两个短语意义和用法都不相同。前者是形容词短语,指人对某事物“特别讲究”,在句中可用作表语; 后者是名词短语,意思是“有关…的细节和详情”。

special，especial，specific，particular，exceptional，extraordinary，peculiar

• 这些形容词均含“特殊的，特别的”之意。
• special普通用词，指不同于一般、与众不同，着重事物的专门性，突出与一般不同。
• especial和special含义很接近，较正式，但侧重有特殊的意义或重要性。
• specific着重指某种、某类事物具有的特殊或特定的属性，也可指专门提出作特别考虑的事物。
• particular侧重不同于普遍性的个性或特殊性。
• exceptional指不同于一般，本身是特别的或异常的事物。
• extraordinary语气比exceptional强，指极大地超过一般或正常情况。
• peculiar强调指与众不同或独特的意思。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的particuler；最初源自拉丁语的particularis，意为部分。
