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”。
