adj.(形容词)

1. simple用作形容词,基本意思是“简单的,易懂的”,侧重于事物不复杂,易于迅速解决或很快被头脑接受。simple也可作“朴素的,简朴的”解,一般指生活过得简朴。simple引申可指人“头脑简单的,易受骗的; 迟钝的”或事物“结构单一的,非复合的”解。
2. simple在作“结构单一的,非复合的”“纯粹的,单纯的,完全的”解时,没有比较级和最高级形式。

adj.(形容词)

simple, easy, facile, simplified

这组词都可以表示“做某事或理解某事没有太大困难”。其区别是：

simply是个最一般的词,指不复杂或不难懂,因此能很快被头脑接受; easy也是一个最一般的词,常指事情容易做,不费劲; facile源于法语,几乎等于easy,但在现代英语中它常与一件表面上的甚至是虚假的东西相联系,因而带有贬义色彩; simplified指经过简化变得不复杂、不难理解或不难做。例如:

It is very easy to do this thing.做这件事非常容易。

There are a lot of simplified novels in our library.我们图书馆里有许多简写本小说。the facile smile of the high-pressure salesman有高度工作压力的售货员脸上皮笑肉不笑

下面两句意思相同:

It was simple to do the job.

It was a simple job to do.

做那项工作很容易。

simple，easy

这两个形容词均含“简单的，轻易的”之意。

simple有指（事物结构）简单，简朴。

easy指轻松。

• ☆ 直接源自古法语的simple，意为简朴的；最初源自拉丁语的simplus，意为不复杂的。
