adj.形容词
profound, deep这两个词的共同意思是“深刻的”,都可以表示理论的深奥、学问的渊博及感情的深厚等。其区别在于:

The river is ten meters deep.这河有10米深。2.deep可表示颜色之深,而profound则不可以。例如:
He has deep brown eyes.他有一双深棕色的眼睛。3.profound是正式用语, deep为一般用语。例如:
We all have profound admiration and respect for him.我们都非常钦佩和尊敬他。deep，profound这两个形容词都有表示“深的”之意。
deep普通用词，指由上到下，或由表及里的深度，可指具体或抽象事物。
profound语气较强，较为庄重，多指抽象的事物，多用于比喻。
1300年进入英语，直接源自中古法语的profund；最初源自古典拉丁语的profundus：pro 前） +fundus (底部），意为深的，无底的。
