adj.形容词
brief, short这两个词的共同意思是“短的”。其区别在于:brief着重指时间、言谈、篇幅等“短暂”“简短”; short是普通用词,泛指各种“短”。例如: My acquaintance with him was brief.我与他相识的时间不长。
I went on a short trip.我作短暂的旅行。brief，concise，compact这些形容词均有“简短的、简洁的”之意。 brief指语言文学简明扼要，短小精悍，也用于指时间意义很强的短暂的过程。 concise书面用词，可与brief换用，指语言文学言简意赅，无多余的话。 compact指为了方便把某物压缩到最小程度，也指紧凑、简洁的文体。 13世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的brevis，意为短的，低的，小的，浅的。
