n.名词
chief, chieftain, head, president

这组词的共同意思是“头头”或“领导人”。

1.president指“总统,主席”或“大学的校长”。

The mayor displaced the police chief.市长把警察局局长撤换了。
The Queen is the chief of the armed forces by right.女王理应是武装部队的统帅。
He was the chief of the clan.他是那个部族的族长。

adj.形容词
chief, capital, main, principal

这组词均可表示“首要的”“重要的”。其区别在于:

1.capital, principal和chief既可修饰人,也可修饰物, main多修饰物,很少修饰人。例如:

He acted the principal hero in the play.他在那出戏中演主角。

The annex has been built on to the main building.主楼配建有附属的建筑物。

2.capital指“一流的”,但不是“第一的”; chief指物时是“最重要的”,指人时是“职位最高的”; main和principal既可指“一流的”,也可指“第一的”。例如:

The trade union chief comrade boiled over when the men voted against him.那位工会首领在工人投他反对票时大发雷霆。chief,head,leader,boss

这些名词都指“拥有权力或统治权的人”。

chief最广泛用词,上可指最高统治者,下可指顶头上司,也可指任何一级的头头。

head多指一个机构或团体等的负责人或最高首长。

leader指国家、民族、政党、组织等的领导或领袖。强调领导能力、含有能够引导、指导、控制被领导者并获得其支持的意味。

boss非正式用词,多作口语用,可指任何负责人,也可指经理、老板或工头。

chief,principal,main,major,leading,capital,foremost,primary

这些形容词均含有“首要的,主要的”之意。

chief指人时,表同类中职位最高,权力最大;指物时,表同类中最重要,价值最高。

principal用于人时,指地位优于其他人;用于物时,指该物在大小、重要性等方面优于他物。

main通常只用于物。指在一定范围内,某物的重要性、体积或力量等超过其它物。

major指同其他人或其它物、问题等相比较,显得更加重要和突出。

leading侧重指具有影响力或凝聚力。从而有主导和引导的作用。

capital着重指因重要性、意义、优越或重大而名列同类之首。

foremost侧重指在行进或发展过程中居首位。

primary通常不用于人。用于物时,指在重要性方面占第一位。

来自词根capit-头的前半截cap-,在法语中发生了较多音变。c→ch,a→ie,p→f。词根capit-头来自拉丁语。它和日耳曼单词head头最终都源自原始印欧语词根*kaput-头,辅音k-h相通。

chief的复数形式是在其后直接加-s:chiefs。

chief作形容词的意思是“最高级别的,总的”,作此解时主要用于人,指人的身份、地位或职权等方面“居于最高级或拥有最高权力的”。chief还可作“主要的,最重要的”解,此时多指物。

chief作“主要的”解时是表示限定意义的形容词,在句中只能置于名词前作定语,作“最重要的”解偶尔可用作表语。
