这三个词都与“渴望”相关,但用法和词性不同,具体区别如下: 1. Desired(形容词/过去分词) - 含义:被渴望的、被期望的。 - 用法:强调“被人渴望得到的”,通常修饰物,也可指人(如被追求的对象)。 - 例:The desired outcome is to finish the project on time.(期望的结果是按时完成项目。) - 例:She was the most desired actress in Hollywood.(她曾是好莱坞最受追捧的女演员。) 2. Desirable(形容词) - 含义:值得向往的、令人渴望的、可取的。 - 用法:侧重“事物本身具有吸引力”,只能修饰物,不能修饰人。 - 例:A quiet neighborhood is highly desirable for families.(安静的社区对家庭来说非常理想。) - 例:These features make the product more desirable to consumers.(这些特点让产品更受消费者青睐。) 3. Desirous(形容词) - 含义:渴望的、想要的。 - 用法:只能修饰人,表示“人主观上渴望某事”,常用结构为: - be desirous of (doing) sth. - be desirous to do sth. - 例:He is desirous of improving his career prospects.(他渴望提升职业前景。) - 例:They are desirous to explore new opportunities.(他们渴望探索新机会。) 记忆技巧: - “Desired”和“Desirable”修饰物(desired更侧重“被期望”,desirable侧重“本身值得向往”); - “Desirous”只能修饰人,需搭配介词“of”或不定式“to do”使用。 如 The desired goal(被期望的目标) A desirable lifestyle(理想的生活方式) Be desirous of success(渴望成功)#每日一词 #词汇量 #英语
