词语用法

adv. (副词)

1. enough用作副词时,意思是“足够,充分”,一般应放在所修饰的形容词、副词或动词的后面。
2. enough还可作“相当地”“还可以地”解,这时在语气上起弱化作用,即语气上比不加enough时为弱。

adj. (形容词)

1. enough作形容词时,意思是“足够的,充分的”,在句中多作定语,一般修饰复数名词或不可数名词,可置于所修饰的名词之前,也可置于所修饰的名词之后。后者属于旧式用法。
2. 当主语是it或是特定数量时, enough也可用作表语,其后常接for引起的短语或动词不定式。
3. enough用于修饰表示坏的品质的名词(如cheek, conceit, impudence)时,一般放在这些词的后面。

n. (名词)

1. enough用作名词时主要在句中用作主语或宾语。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

enough, adequate, ample, sufficient

• 这组词都有“足够的”意思。其区别在于：
• 1.enough为一般用语,有时可与adequate互换。enough常用来表示数量或程度,不宜用于表示性质、质量; 而adequate既可用于描述数量或程度,也可用于描述性质、质量。
• 2.adequate表示“仅够满足”“恰好满足”; enough和sufficient还可表示足够满足; 而ample表示充足而有余,即ample>sufficient>enough>adequate。
• 3.sufficient与enough同义,确切程度比 enough 大,前者多用于需要的满足,后者则多用于欲望的满足; 前者多用于书面语,后者多用于口语。

adequate，enough，sufficient

• 这些形容词均含“足够的，充足的”之意。
• adequate指数量上足够，质量上适当。
• enough最普通用词，口语、书面语可用，较侧重分量或数量的足够，多指希望的满足。
• sufficient正式用词，侧重数目或数量或程度达到某一特定要求或需要。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的genog；最初源自该语的genah：ge （伴随） + nah （达到，获得）。
