一、详细释义:

二、词义辨析:


dark,dim,black,gloomy,obscure,vague,grey

这些形容词都含有“完全地或不完全地缺少光亮”之意。 dark最普通用词,指缺乏自然光线或人工照明,使某物漆黑无光或光线十分微弱。 dim指光线不足或视力较差,不能清晰地看见物体。 black侧重颜色是黑色的,有时也指无光的黑暗。 gloomy指光线不足或部分光线受阻而出现的阴暗。 obscure指因光线不充足而使物体灰暗不清,失去光泽或若隐若现。作借喻时指因复杂、深奥或含糊而难于理解。 vague通常作借喻用,形容抽象事物。 grey与dark意思相近,但侧重阴暗单调的意味。
