correct

★★★★

🇺🇸 /kɚˈɛkt/ 🇬🇧 /kəˈɹɛkt/

adj 编号: C03414 牛津3000 BNC #1580 COCA #1794

correct 的核心意思是“正确、符合标准”，也可表示把错误改正、指出错误，以及在口语中表示“对、没错”。

💡 记忆钩子

把事情“拉回正确的线”就是 correct：答案没错是“正确”，行为合乎标准是“得体”，把错误改掉是“纠正”，确认对方说得没错时则说 correct。

📝 学习建议

先掌握形容词“正确的”和动词“纠正”，再学习口语中的副词和感叹词用法。
不要把 correct 只理解成“改正”；它作形容词时通常表示本来就是对的。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 正确的；准确无误的

📖 表示答案、判断、信息或做法没有错误，符合事实或正确标准。

💡 常用结构是“be correct”或“a correct answer/answer is correct”。它既可修饰具体答案，也可说明某个判断正确；在正式场合比口语化的“对”更明确。不要误以为它只能表示数字精确，观点或拼写正确也能用。

Your answer is correct.

你的答案是正确的。

Please check that all the information is correct.

请检查所有信息是否正确。
common 得体的；符合行为规范的

📖 表示一个人的举止或做法符合社会、公认的礼貌和行为标准，不只是事实或答案没有错误。

💡 常见结构是“correct behavior/manners”或“behave in a correct way”。这个意思较正式，日常对人评价时也常用 polite、well-mannered 等更自然的词。不要把它理解成“行为答案正确”，这里重点是合乎规范。

The guide showed us the correct way to behave at the ceremony.

导游向我们说明了在仪式上应有的得体举止。

more correct comparative most correct superlative

adv

common 正确地

📖 表示某个动作完成得没有错误，尤其用于非正式口语。

💡 常见于“spell/say/get something correct”这类结构。它在口语和某些方言中可以作副词，但正式英语通常用 correctly。学习时可先把 correctly 作为稳妥的标准形式。

I hope I spelled your name correct.

希望我把你的名字拼对了。

intj

common 对；没错

📖 单独使用时表示承认对方的答案、判断或理解是正确的。

💡 最典型的模式是单独说“Correct.”来确认答案。语气可能很简洁甚至略显正式，日常交谈中也可用 yes、that's right 等表达。它通常不是用来表达强烈感情，而是确认信息。

“So the meeting starts at nine?” “Correct.”

“所以会议九点开始？”“对。”

noun

rare 正确答案

📖 指一次答题中答对的回答，常用于教师统计正确题数或与错误答案对比的语境。

💡 常见于“count the corrects”或“number of corrects”这类评分统计表达。它带有教学或评卷语境，日常对话中通常直接说 correct answers。学习时把它当作边缘名词即可。

corrects plural

verb

core 纠正；改正

📖 把原来错误的东西改成正确的状态，就像把偏离标准的做法拉回正确的线。

💡 常用结构是“correct + 名词”，如 correct a mistake、correct your posture。它通常直接接宾语，不说“correct to someone”；若强调改正自己的错误，可说 correct yourself。不要把它只限于改文字，姿势、行为和数据也都能被 correct。

transitive

The coach corrected my posture.

教练纠正了我的姿势。

Please correct any mistakes before you submit the form.

提交表格前请改正所有错误。
common 批改；评阅

📖 指教师或评阅者检查考试卷、作业等，并判断和标出其中的对错。

💡 常用结构是“correct exams/papers/homework”。这里不是把试卷本身改成正确答案，而是批阅其中的答案。不同地区也可能用 mark 或 grade 表示类似的评分工作。

broadly transitive

She spent the evening correcting her students’ papers.

她整个晚上都在批改学生的试卷。
common 指出某人的错误

📖 告诉某人他的说法、拼写或判断有错误，并给出或暗示正确的说法。

💡 常用结构是“correct + 人”，也可说“correct someone on/about something”。直接纠正别人可能显得不客气，尤其在公开场合；更委婉时可先说 I think 或 gently point out the mistake。不要把这个意思和单纯“帮助某人改正自己的东西”混为一谈。

transitive

He corrected me when I used the wrong word.

我用错词时，他指出了我的错误。
rare 惩戒；处罚

📖 较旧或特殊的用法，指通过管教或惩罚让人改正不当行为，仍然围绕“把人拉回正确规范”这一核心。

💡 通常出现在旧式、正式或特定语境中，现代日常英语更常用 discipline 或 punish。它仍然是及物动词，后面接被管教的人。不要把普通的“纠正错误”自动理解成惩罚。
