profound, deep
这两个词共同的意思是“深刻的”,都可以表示理论的深奥、学问的渊博及感情的深厚等。它们的区别在于:
1.deep可以用于具体事物,而profound则不能。例如:
The river is ten meters deep.这河有10米深。
2.deep可表示颜色之深,而profound则不可以。例如:
He has deep brown eyes.他有一双深棕色的眼睛。
3.profound是正式用语, deep为一般用语。例如:
We all have profound admiration and respect for him.我们都非常钦佩和尊敬他。
deep，profound
这两个形容词都有表示“深的”之意。
deep普通用词，指由上到下，或由表及里的深度，可指具体或抽象事物。
profound语气较强，较为庄重，多指抽象的事物，多用于比喻。
