adj.形容词
ambiguous, doubtful, dubious这三个词都有“说不准”的意思, ambiguous指“不明朗”“有多种解释的”; 而dubious和doubtful指人时意为“对…拿不准,有怀疑”,指物时表示情况不稳定,好坏难定。 ambiguous, obscure这两个词都有“含糊的”“模棱两可的”意思。ambiguous指字词、语句、文章等由于多种解释的词而又对其确切含意未作说明而使意义模棱两可、含混不清; obscure可指字迹、道路等由于某种原因如语气本身不清,理解有误等而模糊不清,也常用作比喻,表示难以理解。 questionable，doubtful，ambiguous，uncertain这些形容词均含“怀疑的，不确定的”之意。 questionable通常指怀疑某行为是否恰当，或指有根有据的怀疑。 doubtful指对某个问题持积极怀疑的，有疑问的态度，强调缺乏确信。 ambiguous指因缺乏明确感或因为有各种不同的解释而值得怀疑。 uncertain多指因缺乏证据或了解而捉摸不定，也指因不能预料而不能作出选择。 vague，dim，indefinite，obscure，ambiguous，faint这些形容词均含“不明确的，模糊的”之意。 vague多指因语言不确切，太笼统或因构思含糊、不完善而造成模糊难解。 dim侧重指或因光线暗淡，或因年代久远、身体欠佳等因素而产生视觉或察觉方面的困难。 indefinite指无明确定义或限定，重点或总体轮廓不明确。 obscure语气最强，指晦涩难懂。 ambiguous指文章或讲话中，意思可能有多种理解，令人捉摸不定。 faint指对某事物印象不深，或指声音微弱或希望的渺茫等。 使用ambiguous 一词的第一人似乎是英国人文主义者奠尔 Sir Thomas More，1477 -1535，他在《关于异端的对话》A DiaLogue Concerning Heresies，1528一书中写道：“If it were now doubtful and ambiguous whether the church of Christ were in the right rule of doctrine or not.”该词来自拉丁语ambiguus‘doubtful’，而ambiguus又是从动词ambigere‘go／drive round’派生出来的。其成分ambi-含有both ways二者，二之意，故ambiguous被用以表示“模棱两可的”或“含糊其词的”。 ambi-已被作为前缀吸收到英语中来，用以构成新词，如ambisextrous不分男女的，对两性都有吸引力的，ambidextrous两手都善用的等。
