  • 词义辨析

    larger than, as large as

    这两种表示比较的结构在意思上相同,表示2倍或3倍的时候多用as large as。例如:
    This picture is two times as large as that one.
    这幅画是那幅画的两倍大。
    This picture is five times larger than that one.
    这幅画是那幅画的5倍大。

    large, big, great

    这三个词都可表示“大”,常可互换。例如“一棵大树”可说a big tree,也可以说a large tree,还可以说a great tree。它们的区别在于:
    1.big常用于体积、程度、分量; large常用于面积、范围、数量; 而great带有强烈的感情色彩,只可用于抽象事物。例如:
    The sun is a big ball of fire.太阳是个巨大的火球。
    There is a large hall in the middle of the school campus.校园中间有个大厅。
    The great animal crept slowly towards me.这庞然大物慢慢向我爬来。
    He has made great progress.他取得了很大进步。
    2.修饰人时,这三个词含义不同:big指长大或大人物, large指高大肥胖,而great则指(伟)大。例如:
    She is a big girl.她现在是个大姑娘了。
    He's the greatest man I've ever seen.他是我见过的最伟大的人物。
    She is a large woman.她是个高大的女人。
    3.在语气上, big比large通俗; great比large感情色彩浓。
    4.big和great常可用来加强语气,表示强烈的感情。它们可以和别的形容词连用,也可以彼此连用。例如:
    You great age!您真是高龄!
    You big fool!你真是个大傻瓜!
    Move your great big smelly feet!拿开你的臭脚!
    注意只能说great big,不能说big great。
    5.如将“大小”相对,可说big and little, large and small, great and little〔small〕。

    big,large,great,grand

    这些形容词都含“大的”之意。
    big常用词,使用广泛,较口语化。多指体积、重量或容量等方面的“大”,有时也用于描写抽象之物。
    large普通用词,含义广,指体积、面积、容量、数量以及程度等方面的大,具体或抽象意义都可用。
    great普通用词,可指具体东西的“大”,但更常指事物的重要,人的行为、品格的伟大等,带一定的感情色彩。
    grand侧重指盛大、宏大的、有气派。
