詞語辨析
bad, evil, ill, wicked
這組詞的共同意思是“壞”。其區別是:
1.從所指範圍上說, ill和bad範圍最廣,從稍有不利、不良到邪惡均可使用, evil和wicked指“邪惡”,程度較重。
2.從語氣上說,從弱到強依次為bad, ill, evil, wicked。
3.evil多用於道德方面, wicked譴責意味最強。例如:
That woman has an evil tongue.那女人有一張慣於惡語中傷的嘴。
It's a wicked waste of money.這樣浪費金錢簡直是罪惡。
4.ill還可作“有病的,不健康的”解, bad還可作“不幸的,太可惜的”解。例如:
Too bad you couldn't come last night.真可惜,你昨晚沒能來。
bad, unpleasant
這兩個詞都可作“令人不快的”解。其區別在於:bad表示由於品質或狀況引起的感情的不愉快或不喜歡; unpleasant僅表示“不愉快的,使不快的”。
