词义辨析

adv. (副词)

tight, tightly

• 这两个词都可作副词用。其区别在于:
• 1.tight除可用作副词外,还可用作形容词; tightly只能作副词用。例如:
• She clung tightly to her few remaining possessions.她紧紧抓住她仅有的一些财物不肯放手。
• 2.tight使用范围较广; tightly常用在助动词与过去分词之间。例如:
• The stands were tightly packed for the important match.看台上观众满座,观看这场重要的比赛。
• 3.tight的比较级和最高级为tighter和tightest; 而tightly的比较级和最高级是more tightly和most tightly。例如:
• Tie the string more tightly on that parcel or it may come undone.把这包裹上的绳子捆得更牢些,否则会散包的。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 那件衣服看上去很紧。

   误 That coat looks tightly.

   正 That coat looks tight.

   析 tight和tightly都有“紧”的意思。tight既可用作形容词,也可用作副词; 而tightly只可用作副词。这里look是系动词,后面须跟形容词tight。

adv. (副词)

1. 门关得紧紧的。

   误 The door was shut tightly.

   正 The door was shut tight.

   正 The door was tightly shut.

   析 tight和tightly都可以用作副词,意思也一样,但被动式中tightly通常在系动词的后面,动词的前面。

词源解说

• ☆ 1435年左右进入英语，直接源自中古英语的thight；最初源自古北欧语的etter，意为防水的，紧的。
