1. 这是什么词?

词:apt

英英释义:suitable or right for a particular situation

例句:Eighty-two years after his death, Lu Xun’s words remain apt.

2. 为什么选这个词?

“apt”是个形容词,意思是“恰当的” “贴切的”,常常可以用来完美替换 appropriate, suitable, fitting 等词。由于 apt 只有 3 个字母,是个单音节词,在有些情况下使用它会让表达显得更简洁干练。

鲁迅先生已经去世 82 年了,依然有很多人引用他的话来描述当今社会的一些状况。我们可以评价说:

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.)

2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

场景1:你刚刚说的恰如其分的表达了我的心情。

造句 :What you said just now was an apt description of my feeling.

例句:an apt description of the situation. 对这种情况恰如其分的描述

In fact he is an excellent reader of poetry and has a fine eye for selecting apt and surprising examples.

‘Love at first sight’ is a very apt description of how he felt when he saw her.

用“一见钟情”来形容他见到她时的感觉再恰当不过。
