词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

wet, damp, moist, soaking

• 这组词都有“潮湿的”的意思。其区别在于:
• 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。
• The grass was moist from the morning dew.草上沾着露水,很潮湿。
• 2.wet有时含有令人不快的意味,另外三个词则没有。例如:
• Her cheeks were wet with tears.她的双颊流着眼泪。

v. (动词)

wet, wetted

• 这两者均为wet的过去式和过去分词,在英式英语中,除了在 wet the bed(尿床)或wet oneself(尿裤子)这类短语中, wet的过去式和过去分词通常是wetted。例如:
• The baby has wet its bed again.婴儿又尿床了。

damp，wet，dank，moist，humid

• damp指"轻度潮湿, 使人感觉不舒服的"。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 一听到那个激动人心的消息,她便高兴得眼泪汪汪。

   误 On hearing the exciting news, her eyes were wet by tears.
