Eighty-two years after his death, Lu Xun’s words remain apt.
apt 经常用来形容名词 comment/description/comparison 等,是适合用来发英文朋友圈的一个好词。当我们遇到恰如其分的点评或描述时就可以用到它,比如: So apt!(太恰当了!) What an apt caption!(配图文字太贴切了!) An apt description of XX. (对 XX 的描述恰如其分。) Never has a title been more apt. (标题非常贴切。)
这个短小精悍的小词也常可以在《经济学人》中遇到,比如: Well begun, half done. That proverb, ascribed to Aristotle, seems an apt description of the art market—at least it is if a study of artistic careers, published this week in Science, is to be believed.
另外要注意,apt 的副词形式 aptly 也很常见,比如想说一个标题/名字起的好,就可以说“XX is aptly titled/named”。
3. 怎样学会使用这个词?
1)翻译下面的句子: 选择送花很少出错。 (参考翻译:Flowers are an apt gift for nearly any occasion.)
