词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

wise, bright, clever, intelligent, shrewd, smart

• 这组形容词的共同意思是“聪明的”“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”。其区别在于:
• 1.bright一般指年轻人,尤指小孩的聪明、机警; wise指“有智慧的”“英明的”“有头脑的”; smart指“头脑敏捷的”“精明老练的”,常指思维能力很强,办事巧妙,能圆滑地处理人际关系等,有时也带有表面的或肤浅的色彩; clever指“聪明的”“伶俐的”“能干的”,尤指很有理解或学习能力的; shrewd指“机灵的”“敏锐的”“精明的”,表示谙于世故,对事物浅尝辄止,遇事老谋深算,从不忽略个人私利; intelligent指某人是“聪明的”“智力好的”,善于作出正确的判断。例如:
• In some schools, the bright pupils tutor the dull ones.在一些学校里,一些聪明的学生辅导迟钝的学生。
• She was wise to their scheme.她了解他们的诡计。
• He is so smart that he will jump at the chance.他这个人很有头脑,不会错过这个机会的。
• Jack is a clever student.杰克是个聪明伶俐的学生。
• I think you've made a shrewd investment there.我认为你在那方面的投资极为聪明。
• Elephants are intelligent animals.象是聪明的动物。
• 2.bright强调反应快; wise强调有判断力的、能明辨是非的; intelligent强调思维清楚、理解力强。例如:
• Tom is a bright scholar in the class.汤姆在班上是个聪明的学生。
• It is wise to keep out of debt.不借债是明智的。
• He was intelligent enough to understand my question from the gestures I made.他很聪明,从我的手势就明白了我的问题。

下面两个句子意思不同:

• You were wise to refuse.
• 你拒绝了,那证明你很聪明。
• You were wise enough to refuse.
• 你很聪明,所以你拒绝了。

bright，clever，wise，brilliant，intelligent，ingenious，smart，shrewd

• 这些形容词均含有“聪明的”之意。
• bright口语常用词，多指年轻人，尤指小孩思路敏捷，理解力强，机灵等。
• clever强调头脑灵活，接受新事物快，有智有谋，但不一定暗示全面妥当地考虑问题。
• wise侧重不是一般的聪明伶俐，而是有远见，有智慧，能明智地处理问题。
• brilliant指人的才华出众，思路敏捷，常令人赞叹不已。
• intelligent正式用词，指在理解新的、抽象东西或处理解决问题时，智力超过一般常人。
• ingenious指思路敏捷，并暗示有创造与发明的才能和技巧。
• smart普通用词，与bright和clever的意思很相近，但更强调机灵。
• shrewd指精明老练，有头脑，善于判断和把握有利机会。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 作出这样的决定,你真是明智。

   误 It was wise for you to make such a decision.

   正 It was wise of you to make such a decision.

   析 wise可用于It is/was wise of sb to- v 结构,用作主语的动词不定式的逻辑主语应由介词of引出,而不应该用for。
