📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 值得钦佩的📖 指某人的品格、努力或做法特别值得尊敬和赞赏,重点是这个人或做法本身有令人敬佩的价值。💡 常用“it is admirable that + 从句”或“an admirable + 名词”。修饰人时,通常是在赞美其品格、态度或表现,不一定表示对方完美无缺。比起普通的“good”,它更突出敬意和赞叹。It's admirable that Shelley overcame her handicap and excelled in her work.谢莉克服了自己的障碍,并在工作中取得出色成绩,这一点令人钦佩。Her admirable patience helped the team through a difficult year.她令人钦佩的耐心帮助团队度过了艰难的一年。

core 英勇而值得赞赏的📖 指某个行动本身很勇敢、正义或有益,因而值得赞赏;这里不一定是在评价一个人的整体品格。💡 常用“an admirable act/effort/decision”或“it was admirable of someone to do something”。它适合描述救人、承担责任、坚持完成困难任务等行动。不要只因事情成功就使用它,通常还要有勇气、牺牲或高尚动机等值得尊敬之处。The firefighters' decision to enter the burning building was admirable.消防员决定进入着火的大楼,这一行动十分英勇,令人钦佩。
