【問】 advance 和advanced 都有形容詞的詞性,但他們的意思有什么區別呢?(江蘇 劉小娜)
【答】 他們的區別如下:1. advance 作形容詞用的意思是“先頭的;先遣的”,只能作定語用。如:
The advance troops have sighted the enemy. 先頭部隊已看見了敵人。
2. advanced作形容詞用的意思是“高級的;先進的”或“年老的”,既可用作定語,又可用作表語。如:
She is an advanced worker. 她是一位先進工作者。
His ideas were advanced, and only a few people could understand him. 他的思想太高深了,只有極少數人能理解。
Although autumn was well advanced, not a leaf had fallen from the trees. 盡管已經深秋了,但樹上連一片葉子也未落下。
