    wet, damp, moist, soaking

    1.在程度上, soaking > wet > damp > moist:soaking指完全湿了; wet指中等的潮湿; damp指不干燥,有点儿潮; moist指未完全干,还有点潮,尤其是表面潮湿。例如:
    I tried to squeeze the water out of my soaking skirt.我用力拧掉我那件湿透了的裙子上的水。
    He took off his wet shoes.他把湿鞋子脱了下来。
    Damp wood won't burn.湿柴无法燃烧。

    2.wet有时含有令人不快的意味,另外三个词则没有。例如:
