adj.形容词
plain, ugly这两个词都可表示“难看的”。其区别是： 1.ugly语气较强烈,指“难看的,难听的,丑陋的”,可指人或物,着重于“令人不快的”。 2.plain强调脸部外貌缺乏某种能引起兴趣或吸引人的特征。例如: From a rather plain child she had grown into a beautiful woman.她从一个相貌平平的孩子长成了一个美丽的女子。
The girl has a good figure but a plain face.那个女孩子体形很美,但长相一般。apparent，obvious，evident，clear，plain，distinct，definite，manifest这些形容词均含“清楚的，明白的，明显的”之意。 apparent强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来，故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。 obvious语气较强，指极为明显，有目共睹，无需说明和论证。 evident指根据事实成为显然的。 clear普通用词，侧重清楚明白。 plain普通用词，含义与clear很接近，可通用，但plain着重简单明了，不复杂。 distinct较正式用词，指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确，不会弄错。 definite语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。 manifest语义较强，书面用词，强调一目了然，暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。 来自词根plan-平的，单元音a音变为双元音ai。词根plan-平的来自拉丁语，可以进一步分解为pla-延展，平铺+形容词后缀-n，字面意思就是“平铺的”。它和希腊词根plas-塑造最终都源自原始印欧语词根*pele-2延展，平铺；平的。
