  • 词义辨析

    invaluable, priceless

    这组词的区别是:invaluable意为“珍贵的”,多指质地上是非常宝贵的,也可对实际上无法估价的事物进行评价; priceless意为“极其贵重的,无价的”,多指以价钱来衡量的贵重物品或穿、用的东西。

    invaluable, valuable, valued

    这组词都可表示“值钱的”“有价值的”。它们的区别是:
    valuable指某具体事物被公认为“有价值,贵重的,值钱的”,强调某物很值钱或对所有者具有极大的用途或利益; invaluable多指不具体的事物,意思是“极可贵的,无法估价的”; valued仅指对某人来说是珍贵的、贵重的,但对别人来说就不一定了。例如:
    His assistance is invaluable to me.他对我的帮助是无法估价的。
    Tom was my most valued friend.汤姆是我最可贵的朋友。

    invaluable,valueless

    这一对形容词都是来自名词value.一个是在形容词valuable(有价值的)之前加上否定形容词前缀in-;另一个是在名词value(价值)的后面加上否定形容词后缀-less.虽然它们都是加上否定的形容词词缀,意义刚好相反。
    invaluable意思是“非常贵重的”,(highly valuable,precious),其同义词是priceless.
    valueless意思是“毫无价值的”,其同义词是worthless.
