一、详细释义：


adj.

显然的，明显的


例句：

例句：

例句：

二、词义辨析：


apparent,obvious,evident,clear,plain,distinct,definite,manifest

这些形容词均含“清楚的，明白的，明显的”之意。 apparent强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来，故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。 obvious语气较强，指极为明显，有目共睹，无需说明和论证。 evident指根据事实成为显然的。 clear普通用词，侧重清楚明白。 plain普通用词，含义与clear很接近，可通用，但plain着重简单明了，不复杂。 distinct较正式用词，指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确，不会弄错。 definite语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。 manifest语义较强，书面用词，强调一目了然，暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。


三、参考例句：
