词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

right, correct

• 这两个词意思相同,都表示“正确”,多数情况下可互换。例如:
• Your answer is right〔correct〕.你的答案是正确的。其区别是：
• 1.correct含有按标准或规则往往是“正确”的意味; 而right含有按道德规范往往是“正确”的意味。例如:
• This sentence is grammatically correct but idiomatically wrong.这句话从语法上讲是对的,但不符合习惯用法。
• I don't think it's right to leave children alone in a house.我认为把小孩独自留在房里是不对的。
• 2.right有“正常的”“正义的”“井井有条的”等意思,而correct没有。例如:
• He invited the right persons.他邀请了该请的客人。

下面各句意思相同:

• She was right to refuse.
• It was right of her to refuse.
• It was right for her to refuse.
• It was right that she should refuse.
• 她拒绝是正确的。

adv. (副词)

right, rightly

• 这两个词在意思上基本相同。其区别是：
• 1.在修饰全句时要用rightly而不用right。例如:
• Quite rightly,Fannie referred the complaint to the director.芬尼把一肚子苦水向主任倾诉这是完全正确的。
• 2.如果修饰的是动词,两者都可以使用,但right要放在动词之后,而rightly多放在动词之前。例如:
• If I remember right,Robert died two years ago.要是我没记错的话,罗伯特两年前就去世了。
• These prisoners were rightly punished for their crimes.这些犯人罪有应得。
• 3.修饰介词短语时要用right,不用rightly。例如:
• The nail went right through the plank.钉子恰好钉穿木板。
• 4.修饰另一个形容词或副词,要用right,不用rightly。而且,这样使用时, right要放在另一个副词之前。例如:
• The policeman has knocked the blackguard right out.民警已把这个坏蛋打倒在地。
• 5.right作为副词,可以用在介词短语之前,意思是“正好”, rightly不能这样用。例如:
• The snowball hit him right on the nose.雪球正好打在他鼻子上。

right away, at once, directly, immediately, instantly, presently

• 这组词(组)的共同意思是“立即”“马上”。其区别在于:
• 1.at once主要指动作迅速,但中间多有一段距离,且at once比immediately意味更强。例如:
• I'm leaving for Rome at once.我马上去罗马。
• He gave orders for the work to be started at once.他下令立即开始那项工作。
• 2.immediately侧重指时间“紧接着”。例如:
• I came immediately after I'd eaten.吃过饭我立即就来了。
• Please close your books immediately and answer these questions.请立即合上书,回答这些问题。
• I left immediately when the clock struck twelve.钟刚打12点我就离去了。
• 3.right away经常出现在美式英语中。例如:
• I'll do it right away.我立即去办。
• He had written down a list of things to do right away.他已写下须立即做的事情。
• Don't expect them to approve of the design right away.不能期望他们马上批准这项设计。
• 4.instantly也是指动作迅速,但它更强调的是同时发生,中间有很短的距离或无距离。例如:
• The electrician went instantly in answer to the phone call.电工师傅一接到电话马上就去了。
• He was killed instantly in a car accident.在车祸中,他当场死亡。
• 5.directly强调“直接地”,多与“迂回绕过”相对。例如:
• Whether he sailed directly across the bay or coasted round it is uncertain.他是径直驶过海湾,还是沿海岸迂回绕过的,现在还无法确知。
• 6.presently强调过一会再去做某事。例如:
• I will do the dishes presently, but I want to finish the story first.我过一会去洗碟子,不过我想得先看完这篇故事。

n. (名词)

下面各组中两个短语意思不同:

• exact着重在质与量方面的准确，语气比accurate强。
• precise侧重极端准确，更强调细节的精确无误。

• right作副词，用来修饰谓语（常为动词be）或作状语的介词短语等，须放在the, this，my等限定词之前。
