词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

larger than, as large as

• 这两种表示比较的结构在意思上相同,表示2倍或3倍的时候多用as large as。例如:
• This picture is two times as large as that one.
• 这幅画是那幅画的两倍大。
• This picture is five times larger than that one.
• 这幅画是那幅画的5倍大。

large, big, great

• 这三个词都可表示“大”,常可互换。例如“一棵大树”可说a big tree,也可以说a large tree,还可以说a great tree。其区别在于:
• 1.big常用于体积、程度、分量; large常用于面积、范围、数量; 而great带有强烈的感情色彩,只可用于抽象事物。例如:
• The sun is a big ball of fire.太阳是个巨大的火球。
• There is a large hall in the middle of the school campus.校园中间有个大厅。
• The great animal crept slowly towards me.这庞然大物慢慢向我爬来。
• He has made great progress.他取得了很大进步。
• 2.修饰人时,这三个词含义不同:big指长大或大人物, large指高大肥胖,而great则指(伟)大。例如:
• She is a big girl.她现在是个大姑娘了。
• He's the greatest man I've ever seen.他是我见过的最伟大的人物。
• She is a large woman.她是个高大的女人。
• 3.在语气上, big比large通俗; great比large感情色彩浓。
• 4.big和great常可用来加强语气,表示强烈的感情。它们可以和别的形容词连用,也可以彼此连用。例如:
• You great age!您真是高龄!
• You big fool!你真是个大傻瓜!
• Move your great big smelly feet!拿开你的臭脚!
• 注意只能说great big,不能说big great。
• 5.如将“大小”相对,可说big and little, large and small, great and little〔small〕。

big，large，great，grand

• 这些形容词均含“大的”之意。
• big常用词，使用广泛，较口语化。多指体积、重量或容量等方面的“大”，有时也用于描写抽象之物。
• large普通用词，含义广，指体积、面积、容量、数量以及程度等方面的大，具体或抽象意义均可用。
• great普通用词，可指具体东西的“大”，但更常指事物的重要，人的行为、品格的伟大等，带一定的感情色彩。
• grand侧重指盛大、宏大的、有气派。

词源解说

• ☆ 1200年左右进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的largus，意为大，巨大。
