easy
★★★★★
🇺🇸 /ˈizi/
easy 的核心意思是“轻松、不费力”,也可引申为让人放松、态度随和,或事情容易做到。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一条没有阻力的平路:走起来不费力,所以是“容易的”;人处在这条平路上就会感到放松、自在;说话做事没有太多拘束,就显得随和自然。由此,easy 还可表示“轻松地”,以及在特定语境中表示“至少、轻而易举地”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“容易的”和“放松、轻松的”两个核心意思,再学习短语和引申义。
- easy 不只是“简单”,也常表示人的状态或风格很放松;看到它时要结合修饰对象判断。
- 表示“性关系上很随便”的用法带有贬义和冒犯性,不要把它当作普通的“随和”来使用。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
rare 自在的;安心的📖 表示人没有紧张或忧虑,处在放松、安心的状态;现代英语中主要保留在固定表达里。💡 常见结构是“rest easy”或“feel easy”,其中前者尤其常用。这个意思较书面或固定搭配化,日常表达“放松”通常优先用更直接的说法。不要把它理解成“容易的”。
-
core 容易的;不费力的📖 表示完成某件事不需要很多技能、努力或时间,是 easy 最核心的意思之一。💡 常用结构是“be easy to do”或“an easy + 名词”。“It is easy to understand”表示某事容易理解;不要说成“人容易做某事”,而应让事情或内容作主语。This recipe is easy to follow.这个食谱很容易照着做。The exam was easier than I expected.这场考试比我预想的容易。
-
common 舒适安逸的📖 表示生活条件让人少操心、少受劳累,因而过得轻松舒适。💡 常放在表示生活、环境或处境的名词前,如“an easy life”。这个意思比“容易的”更强调享受和少负担,不一定表示某件任务简单。They have an easy life in the countryside.他们在乡下过着安逸的生活。
-
common 自然随和的📖 形容举止、风格或气氛没有过多拘束,平和流畅,让人感到自然舒服。💡 常修饰“manner”“style”或类似表示风格的名词。这里不是“容易”,而是“轻松自然”;正式写作中可根据语境换成更准确的词。Her easy style makes everyone feel welcome.她自然随和的风格让每个人都感到受欢迎。
-
rare 在性关系上很随便的📖 这是带有贬义和冒犯性的旧式非正式用法,用来贬低女性在性关系上的行为。💡 这个用法通常出现在侮辱性评价中,现实交流中应避免使用。不要把它理解为普通的“容易相处”或“随和”。derogatory informal
-
common 容易答应的;顺从的📖 表示一个人不强烈抵抗或拒绝,比较容易接受别人的要求或影响。💡 常见结构是“easy to persuade”或“an easy target”。语气可能只是描述对方好说话,也可能暗含容易被利用的意味,要看上下文。He is easy to persuade when the plan is sensible.如果计划合理,他很容易被说服。
-
rare 资金宽裕的📖 旧式商业语境中表示钱不紧张、市场资金宽松,与“紧张”相对。💡 这是过时的金融用法,通常只在历史或专业旧文本中出现。现代英语中不要用它来表示一般的“容易”。dated

core 放松地📖 表示不紧张、不勉强地做事,最常见于“take it easy”,意思是放松一点、别太劳累。💡 固定结构是“take it easy”,可用于劝人放松、别着急,也可表示轻松度过。它不是要求对方“做得容易”,而是让对方减轻压力。You have worked all day, so take it easy tonight.你已经工作了一整天,今晚放松一下吧。
-
common 温和地;不严厉地📖 表示对人或事情采取较温和、不苛刻的处理方式。💡 常见结构是“go easy on someone”,表示不要对某人太严厉或太用力。比较级形式也常用于请求对方“轻一点、宽容一点”。Please go easy on the new students.请对新学生宽容一点。
-
common 轻松地;至少📖 放在数量或结果后表示某数值保守估计还不止,或表示某事轻而易举就能达到。💡 常放在数量短语后,如“a hundred dollars, easy”。这是口语用法,语气较随意;正式表达中应改用明确的数量估计方式。That old house is worth a million dollars, easy.那栋老房子轻轻松松就值一百万美元。

🌳 词源
源自中古英语,部分与表示“轻松、安逸”的词根有关,后来合并了表示“容易”的古英语词源。
From Middle English esy, eesy, partly from Middle English ese (“ease”) + -y, equivalent to ease + -y, and partly from Anglo-Norman eisé from Old French aisié (“eased, at ease, at leisure”), past participle of aisier (“to put at ease”), from aise (“empty space, elbow room, opportunity”), of uncertain origin. See ease. Merged with Middle English ethe, eathe (“easy”), from Old English īeþe, from Proto-Germanic *auþuz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwtus, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to enjoy, consume”). Compare also Old Saxon ōþi, Old High German ōdi, Old Norse auðr, auð-, Icelandic auð (adverb), auð-, all meaning "easy." More at ease, eath.
