词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

silly, absurd, fatuous, foolish, ridiculous, stupid

• 这组词都有“愚蠢,荒唐,可笑”的意思。其区别是：
• absurd指因为不符合常理或人情而令人觉得荒唐可笑; ridiculous指因为不符合常理或人情而引起别人的讥笑或鄙视; foolish侧重“愚蠢”,多用来指人,也可以指行为,多指因为缺乏智慧或判断力而造成; silly多用于口语,比foolish语气重,指极端的和明显的“愚蠢”,有令人觉得“糊涂”的含意,有时也可以指“傻气; 憨; 不懂事”,指行为、言语等时有“无聊的; 无意义的”含意; stupid强调“愚笨”,常指由于智力低下或其他原因而引起,往往含有“呆滞麻木”的含意,具有较强的贬义,有时也可指事物的“无聊; 乏味”; fatuous含有愚蠢盲目但自我感觉良好以致达到无法认清自己的地步的意思。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 你犯这样的错误,真太糊涂了。

   误 It was silly for you to make such a mistake.

   正 It was silly of you to make such a mistake.

   析 silly常用于It is/was silly of sb to- v 的结构中,表示“做…的事的人是很傻的”。在这种句型中,不能用介词for代替of引出逻辑主语。
