enthusiastic, ardent, eager, earnest, zealous

• 这组词的共同意思是“渴望的”“热切的”。其区别在于:
• 1.eager指对成功的期望或进取的热情; earnest表示认真执著地对待一项工作; ardent指有如火一般炽热的感情; enthusiastic指根据爱好、兴趣而产生的热情洋溢的情感; zealous多指奉献的热情,也可指强烈的宗教信仰。例如:
• She is enthusiastic about the new teaching method.她对新的教学方法很热心。

• 2.eager含有难以等待或难以抑制的意味; earnest带有充满热情、专心、无私的含义; enthusiastic含有对某事极端酷爱、仰慕或赞许的含义; zealous则暗示热情来自信仰或态度以及为此而采取行动的可能性。例如:

• I am enthusiastic over a project for building a new bridge.我热衷于修建一座新桥的规划。
• They were zealous in the pursuit of the truth.他们热切追求真理。
