    同近义词辨析

    open, frank, sincere, blunt, honest, plain, straightforward

    这组词都有“坦率,诚实”的意思,其区别是:

    open指不隐瞒自己的秘密,愿意向他人表露自己或公开暴露自己的缺点。

    frank强调毫无保留地畅所欲言,不受任何约束。

    sincere侧重指一个人出自内心地对某人某事表示一种诚意。

    blunt指讲话坦白直率、不客气,但隐含不得体、不顾及他人感情等意味。

    honest指遵守正直等道德准则。

    plain指直言不讳,毫不做作或故弄玄虚。

    straightforward多用于答复、叙述等场合。指直截了当,不回避,或故弄玄虚。

    clear, obvious, evident, apparent, manifest, definite, plain, distinct

    这组词都有“清楚的,明白的,明显的”的意思,其区别是:

    clear普通用词,侧重清楚明白。

    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。

    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。

    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。

    definite语气肯定,着重明白无误,无可怀疑。

    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。
