用法讲解

adj. (形容词)
  1. civil的基本含意是“公民的,平民的”,也可作“非军职的,非宗教的; 国民间的,民用的; 民事的,民法的”解,常用作定语,无比较级和最高级形式。
  2. civil还可作“文明的,有教养的”解,常与介词of或to连用,可用于比较等级。
adj. (形容词)
civil, courteous, polite
  • 这组词的共同意思是“有礼貌的”。其区别在于：
  • 1.polite指教养良好而举止谈吐彬彬有礼。
  • 2.civil指仅仅满足社会交往的一般要求,有时仅指不粗野。例如:
  • Be civil in your speech.讲话要客气。
  • He was very civil to us when we went to see him.我们去见他的时候,他待我们非常客气。
  • 3.courteous则指考虑更为周到,举止更为高雅。例如:
  • She was pleased at the courteous way in which he addressed her.他跟她讲话时的那种谦恭的样子令她十分愉快。
  • It was courteous of him to give his seat to my mother.他把座位让给我母亲真有礼貌。
    • polite，civil，courteous
  • 这些形容词均含“礼貌的、客气的”之意。
  • polite普通常用词，指言论举止无论何时均严谨有礼，很有教养。
  • civil语气弱于polite，着重只达到社交的一般要求，避免粗鲁。
  • courteous指言谈举止典雅，谦恭有礼，更侧重考虑他人的感情与尊严。

    • 词源解说

    • ☆ 14世纪晚期期进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的civilis，意为和公民有关的，有利于民众的。
