adj.(形容词)

obvious, apparent, clear, evident

这四个词的共同意思是“明显”“清楚”。其区别是：

apparent侧重于“显露”“显而易见”,从表面上看来非常明显,与real相对立; evident侧重于“可以看得见的”“明显的”,指由于某些证据或考虑各种条件后而推断出来事物是明显的; obvious侧重于“就在眼前”“一目了然”,无须证明而显得更加明显,比evident更加表面化; clear用法及意义很广泛,无论对听觉、视觉或理解力来说,任何明朗清楚的事物都可以用这个词形容。例如:

The apparent cause of his absence was not a bad cold.他缺席的原因表面上看不是患了重感冒。

The crimes committed by colonialists are too evident to need any proof.殖民主义者的罪行太显著了,无须加以证明。

It was an obvious mistake for him to have gone alone.他独自前去是个很明显的错误。

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

这些形容词均含“清楚的，明白的，明显的”之意。

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。

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。

clear普通用词，侧重清楚明白。

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。

definite语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。

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。

• ☆ 1586年进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的obvius，意为常识；最初源自该语的obviam：ob (反） + viam (路），意为很明白，很明显。
