近义词辨析

beautiful, good-looking, handsome, lovely, pretty

这组词均含有“美丽”、“漂亮”、“可爱”的意思。

Beautiful指能不仅给人带来感官上的快乐，而且通过感官产生思想和灵魂的愉悦，在同类词中层次最高。

She was even more beautiful than I had remembered.她比我记忆中的她更漂亮了。

good-looking 不如handsome, pretty意思强烈，指一般的“好看”或“悦目”。

That good-looking young man visited the house once or twice a week.那个长相不错的年轻人一星期光顾一两次。

handsome 通常是一种客观的不带感情色彩的评价。一个人如被形容为handsome,是指此人外貌符合观察者的要求，但不激发更深层的感受。

He looked very handsome in his dark suit.他穿深色西装显得非常英俊。

lovely比感官的快乐更进一步，是强调纯粹情感上的愉悦，指觉得某人或某物“可爱”。

Mary has two lovely daughters.玛丽有两个可爱的女儿。

pretty也是“漂亮、可爱”的意思。很少形容大而有影响力的事物，多形容事物不以其优秀、完美而以小巧、优雅、精致见长，使人容易接受并喜爱。

Her boyfriend believes that she is the prettiest girl in the town.她男朋友觉得她是镇上最漂亮的女孩。
