adj.形容词
feeble, infirm, weak这三个词的共同意思是“弱的”。其区别是： weak用于修饰人、人的身体及其各部分器官,为最普通用语; feeble多指体格、脉搏、声音等“虚弱的,无力气的”,语气较weak强且庄重。例如: Her pulse was very feeble.她的脉搏很微弱。infirm特指因年老而衰弱。例如: My grandpa is infirm with age.我祖父年老体衰。weak，feeble，frail，fragile这些形容词均有“虚弱的，乏力的”之意。 weak普通用词，指缺乏应有的力量，可用于身体、意志或精神。 feeble指身体衰弱无力，精力几乎耗尽，含令人怜悯的意味。 frail多指因经常生病而身体纤弱。 fragile可与frail换用，但语气强，侧重脆弱，指人容易生病，指物容易破碎。 12世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的feble，意为“虚弱”。
