eastern, east, easterly这三个词的共同意思是“来自东方的”。其区别是： 1.east多用来表示世界或某一个国家的东部,界限比较分明,且可用于专有名词前; eastern的界限不太分明。例如: All these countries are eastern countries.所有这些国家都是东方国家。easterly除表示“来自东方的”外,还表示“向东的,东面的”。例如: The ship continued to hold her easterly course.这艘船继续她向东的进程。2.修饰抽象名词时须用eastern,不用east。 直接源自古英语的east，意为东。
