嗨,大家好!今天和大家一起來學習三個形容詞:diplomatic,potential,ashamed,話不多說,讓我們開始吧!
diplomatic
diplomatic的意思是「connected with managing relations between countries or having or showing skill in dealing with people in difficult situations」,即「外交的,老練的」。等同於單詞tactful。這個單詞源於名詞diplomat(外交官)。
例句:
She was more than my match in diplomatic shrewdness.
論外交手腕之精明,我遠不敵她。
potential
potential的意思是「can develop into sth or be developed in the future」,即「可能的,潛在的」。相當於單詞possible。
例句:
They are my potential customers.
他們是我潛在的客戶。
ashamed
ashamed的意思是「feeling shame or embarrassment about sb/sth or because of sth you have done」,即「慚愧的,羞恥的」,等同於單詞humiliated。ashamed的反義詞為shameless,意思是「不知羞恥的」。注意,有一個固定短語:be ashamed to,意思是「對……感到羞愧」。
例句:
I'm ashamed to say that I lied to him.
我真不好意思說我向他撒了謊。
以上就是今天所學內容,你學會了嗎?
