right
★★★
🇺🇸 /ɹˈaɪt/
🇬🇧 /ɹaɪt/
right 是一个含义非常丰富的词,主要表示“右边的、正确的、合适的、正直的”,也可作副词表示“向右、恰当地、确实地”,作名词表示“权利、右边”,作动词表示“纠正、扶正”,还可作感叹词表示同意或转折。
💡 记忆钩子
把 right 记成“走直、放正”:方向走直了就是“右边”,事情放正了就是“正确、合理”,物体放正就是“扶正”,由此又引申出“权利”以及表示认可的回应。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“右边”和“正确”两个核心义,再学习“权利、合适、真正的、非常”等引申义。
- 作名词时要区分“权利”和“右边”;复数形式通常表示个人或群体拥有的权利。
- 在对话中,right 既可以表示赞同,也可以只是表示“我听到了、接着说”,不能一律理解为完全同意。
- 注意相关短语中的含义变化,例如表示状态正常或没有问题时,不要只按“正确”理解。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 右边的📖 表示位于人体右侧或某物的右侧;把方向走直、放对,就是“右边”。💡 常见结构是“the right side/hand/arm”,也可说“on the right”表示在右边。面对某个方向时,左右要以观察者的朝向为准,不能机械地按地图上的东西南北判断。The sign on the right points to the station.右边的标牌指向车站。Raise your right hand if you know the answer.知道答案的话请举起右手。
-
core 正确的;正当的📖 表示符合事实、道理或正义;事情被“放正”了,就是正确、正当的。💡 常见结构是“the right answer/choice/thing”和“be right about...”,也可说“it is right to do...”。注意它既能表示判断正确,也能表示行为在道德或道理上正当,具体含义要看上下文。You were right about the meeting time.你说的会议时间是对的。It is not right to blame her for the mistake.把这个错误怪到她头上是不应该的。
-
common 合适的;恰当的📖 表示某人或某物正好适合某个目的、场合或需要,好像把事情放到了合适的位置。💡 常见结构是“the right person/tool/time/place for...”。它强调“适用、合适”,不一定表示事实正确;说“the right answer”与说“the right software”不是同一种用法。We need the right tool for this job.我们需要适合这项工作的工具。
-
common 正常清醒的;健全能干的📖 表示头脑正常、神志清醒,或有能力把事情做好;也可用于否定形式,表示状态不正常。💡 常见结构是“in one’s right mind”和“not in one’s right mind”,前者多用于判断某人是否神志正常。这个用法不能简单理解成“正确的头脑”,也不宜随意用来评价他人的精神状态。He must not have been in his right mind when he signed that contract.他签那份合同时一定不是神志清醒的状态。
-
common 十足的;真正的📖 放在名词或形容词前加强语气,表示“真正的、十足的”,常带有惊讶、批评或夸张色彩。💡 常见结构是“a right + 名词”或“a right + 形容词”,尤其常见于口语和部分英语地区的非正式表达。它不是普通的“正确的”,而是强调程度;正式写作中应根据语境改用更明确的程度词。What a right mess this room is!这个房间真是一团糟!
-
common 直角的📖 几何学中表示角度为九十度,也就是两条互相垂直的线之间形成的角;这是“放正、成直角”的用法。💡 常见搭配是“a right angle”,也可说“at right angles to...”表示与某物成直角。这里的 right 是数学术语,不能理解为“右边的角”。The two walls meet at a right angle.两面墙以直角相交。
-
common 含直角的📖 几何学中表示图形的边、面或轴之间包含直角,如直角三角形。💡 常见结构是“right triangle/prism/cone”等几何术语,通常直接放在名词前。学习时要把它和“right angle”区分开:前者描述整个图形,后者描述一个角。A right triangle has one angle of ninety degrees.直角三角形有一个九十度的角。
-
common 右岸的📖 按水流向下游的方向看,位于右手边的河岸叫右岸;重点是观察方向,而不是地图上固定的左右。💡 常见搭配是“the right bank of the river”。判断河流左右岸时要面向下游,不能只根据河流在地图上向东、向西流来判断。The old town lies on the right bank of the river.老城位于河流的右岸。
-
common 正面朝外的📖 指布料、纸张等有正反面的物品中,设计上应该朝外、供人看到的一面。💡 常见结构是“the right side of the fabric/material”和“on the right side”。缝纫语境中的 right side 不是“右边那一面”,而是与反面相对的正面。Turn the fabric to the right side before sewing the hem.缝下摆前,把布料翻到正面。
-
common 右翼的;保守派的📖 政治语境中表示与右翼或保守立场有关;这里的“右”来自政治光谱,不是方向。💡 常见搭配是“right-wing parties/politicians”和“the political right”。正式语境中通常写成带连字符的“right-wing”,不要把它和普通的“右边”混淆。The right-wing party gained seats in the election.这个右翼政党在选举中赢得了更多席位。
-
rare 没事的;不用帮忙的📖 澳大利亚英语中可表示“我没事,不需要帮助”,相当于一种简短的自我安顿式回答。💡 常见于回答别人是否需要食物、帮助或照顾的问句,主要限于澳大利亚英语口语。其他英语地区通常会说“我没事”或“不用了”,不要把它当作普遍用法。Australia
-
rare 有利的;走运的📖 旧式用法中表示处于最有利、最方便或幸运的一方。💡 只见于较旧的表达和文学语境,现代日常英语中不宜主动使用。若要表达有利或幸运,通常改用更直接的词。dated
-
rare 直的📖 古旧用法中表示线条笔直、不弯曲。💡 这个含义带有古语色彩,现代英语中通常用表示“直的”的普通词。不要因为“走直、放正”的记忆联想就把它当作现代常用义。archaic
-
rare 露脊鲸的📖 在生物或航海旧文献中,表示与露脊鲸这一类鲸有关。💡 只在特定的动物学或历史航海语境中出现,通常出现在固定名称或旧文本里。日常使用中不能把它泛指为“正确的鲸”。

common 在右边📖 表示某人或某物位于右侧,说明方向或位置。💡 常见结构是“on the right”或“to the right of...”。表示静态位置通常用 on,表示朝右侧移动则常用 to,不能随意互换。not-comparableThe pharmacy is on the right.药房在右边。
-
common 向右📖 表示朝右侧移动或转向;方向走向右边,就是这个用法。💡 常见结构是“turn right”“move right”和“go right”。在指路时可单独使用,但要根据动作判断它是“向右转”还是“向右走”。not-comparableTurn right at the next traffic light.在下一个红绿灯处向右转。
-
common 正好;恰恰📖 表示位置、时间或程度恰好准确,好像正好放在目标点上。💡 常见结构是“right in/at/on...”和“right here/there”。它强调精确位置或时刻,通常放在介词短语或地点副词前。not-comparableThe key was right under the cushion.钥匙正好在坐垫下面。
-
common 就在;紧挨着📖 表示某物就在旁边、附近或紧接着发生,强调直接和没有间隔。💡 常见结构是“right beside/behind/after...”等。它比普通的位置表达语气更强,表示“就在那里”或“紧接着”,不等于方向上的“向右”。not-comparableThere is a café right beside the library.图书馆旁边就有一家咖啡馆。
-
rare 非常;很📖 部分英语地区的口语中用来加强程度,表示“非常”或“很”。💡 常见结构是“right + 形容词”,但这种用法带有英国、美国部分地区或方言色彩。正式和国际交流中最好使用更常见的程度副词,以免听起来不自然。British US dialectal not-comparable
-
common 确实;实际上📖 表示事情确实如此,带有确认事实、加强真实性的语气。💡 常见位置是在动词前或句末,常用于口语强调事实。它不表示“以正确方式”,若要说做事做得正确,应使用另一个副词义。not-comparableI really did right see him at the station.我确实在车站看到他了。
-
core 正确地;妥当地📖 表示以正确、合适的方式做某事;事情被“放正”并做对了。💡 常见结构是“do/get/handle something right”,也可放在祈使句中,如“Do it right”。它通常放在动词或宾语之后,不能把它误当成表示方向的“向右”。not-comparableIf you follow these steps, you should get it right.如果你按这些步骤做,就应该能做对。Please make sure you close the lid right.请确保把盖子正确地盖好。
-
rare 非常;大为📖 旧式或少数固定语境中用来大幅加强程度,表示“非常”。💡 这个用法较陈旧,现代日常英语中通常不用。若在标题或文学作品中遇到,应根据上下文理解为程度强调,而不是方向或正确性。dated not-comparable
intj
-
common 对;没错📖 表示明确同意或确认对方说得正确。💡 常单独使用,也可放在回答开头表示“是的,没错”。语气坚定时是明确赞同,语气平淡时也可能只是承认一个事实。“So we meet at eight?” “Right.”“所以我们八点见?”“对。”
-
common 知道了;我听到了📖 表示已经听到并承认对方刚才说的话,但不一定表示完全同意其观点。💡 常单独回应说明、要求或看法,语气比明确赞成更中性。不要看到“Right.”就一律翻成“正确”,它有时只是表示“明白了”。“The documents are in the top drawer.” “Right, I’ll get them.”“文件在最上面的抽屉里。”“知道了,我去拿。”
-
common 好,那么;对了📖 用来结束一个话题并转到另一个话题,或开始接着说下一件事。💡 常放在新话题或新句子开头,后面通常紧接完整陈述。说话时常有明显停顿,不能把它理解成对上一句话的赞同。Right, let’s talk about tomorrow’s schedule.好,那么我们来谈谈明天的安排。
-
common 对吧;是不是📖 放在句末检查听者是否在听,或寻求对方确认和同意。💡 常见结构是“陈述句,right?”,语气上扬时尤其像“对吧”。它既可表示真诚询问,也可能只是口头习惯,不能总按正式疑问句处理。You’ll send me the address tonight, right?你今晚会把地址发给我,对吧?
-
common 好;那就这样📖 放在发言开头加强认真、果断或准备采取行动的语气,表示“好,现在开始”。💡 常见于“Right, + 陈述句或祈使句”,后面通常马上接决定、安排或行动。它比普通的“好”更有决断感,但在正式书面语中不宜频繁使用。Right, everyone, let’s begin the meeting.好,各位,我们开始开会吧。
name
-
common 右翼;右翼阵营📖 指政治上的右翼整体,即持保守或右翼立场的政治力量和支持者的总称。💡 通常使用定冠词和大写形式“the Right”,常与“the Left”对举。它指一个广义阵营,不一定对应某个单独的政党,因此不能直接翻成某一具体党派名称。The Right has criticized the proposal as too expensive.右翼阵营批评这项提议成本过高。
noun
-
common 正义;正当的一方📖 指符合正义、法律或道理的东西或一方,也就是事情被“放正”后的状态。💡 常用 the side of right、stand for right 等搭配,通常表示抽象的正义,而不是“右边”。这个义项语气较正式,日常表达“正确的一方”时也常用 the right side。She believed they were fighting on the side of right.她相信他们是在为正义而战。
-
core 权利;正当权益📖 指法律、道德或规则赋予某人的正当资格或权益,也就是一个人应当被放在正确位置上的东西。💡 常用 have the right to do sth、the right to sth 和 no right to do sth。不要把它和表示“正确”的形容词混淆;涉及法律或个人边界时,语气可以很强。Everyone has the right to speak freely.每个人都有自由发言的权利。You have no right to read my messages.你没有权利看我的消息。
-
common 右边;右方📖 指相对于观察者、行进方向或某个参照物的右侧位置,也就是方向上走到“右边”。💡 常用 on the right、to the right 和 on the right of sth;指路时常说 on your right。注意它通常要和介词或限定词搭配,不能在所有位置单独代替 right-hand side。The bank is on the right after the traffic lights.过了红绿灯,银行就在右边。
-
common 右手;右拳📖 指人的右手,尤其在打斗或击打语境中指右拳。💡 常见搭配是 get one’s right in 或 land a right,通常出现在拳击、打斗等语境中。这个用法比“右手”这一普通说法更具体,也更容易带有口语或叙事色彩。He blocked my left hand but missed my right.他挡住了我的左手,却没躲过我的右拳。
-
common 版权;使用权📖 指制作、出版、播放或传播某部作品或某项活动的合法授权,常常就是版权或相关使用权。💡 常用 the rights to a film、buy the rights to a book 和 television rights 等搭配。这里通常用复数 rights;不要把它理解成一般意义上的个人权利。The studio bought the rights to the best-selling novel.这家制片公司买下了这部畅销小说的版权。
-
common 右翼;保守派📖 指政治上的右翼政党或保守派群体,强调其作为一个整体的政治立场。💡 通常与 political 连用,构成 the political right;也可说 the right。这个义项属于政治语境,和表示“右边”的普通空间方向无关。The political right opposed the proposed tax increase.右翼政治势力反对拟议中的增税。
-
common 正面;正面一侧📖 指硬币、布料、地毯等物品向外展示或制作完成得最好的一面,也就是被“放正”后朝外的一面。💡 常与 the right side of the fabric、right side up 等搭配,并常和 wrong side 对比。缝纫或手工语境中,right 不是“右边”,而是“正面”。Turn the shirt right side out before you iron it.熨衣服前,先把衬衫翻到正面。
-
rare 向左破的右侧浪📖 冲浪术语,指从岸上看,浪从右向左破开的浪型。💡 主要用于冲浪语境,通常与 wave、break 等词搭配。判断左右时以岸上的观察方向为准,不是以冲浪者面向浪的方向为准。
rights
plural
verb
-
common 纠正;改正📖 指改正错误、弥补不公或把不正确的状况重新放回正轨。💡 常用 right a wrong、right an injustice 和 right past wrongs 等搭配,通常是及物用法。它往往强调纠正已经发生的问题,不只是指出哪里错了。transitiveThe company promised to right the mistake quickly.公司承诺尽快纠正这个错误。
-
common 扶正;使直立📖 指把倒下或倾斜的物体扶回直立、正常的位置。💡 通常用 right sth,宾语是船、车辆、家具等具体物体;不要把它和表示“修理”的 repair 完全等同。若强调使物体回到直立状态,right 比 repair 更准确。transitiveThey righted the fallen sign and secured it with a post.他们扶正倒下的标牌,并用一根柱子固定好。
-
common 恢复直立📖 指船或其他物体在倾斜后自行恢复到直立、正常的位置,也就是自己“放正”了。💡 这是不及物用法,主语是恢复直立的物体,常见于 ship、boat 等词。不要在这种用法后直接加物体宾语;若有人把它扶正,应使用及物结构 right sth。intransitiveAfter the wave passed, the small boat righted itself.海浪过去后,小船自行恢复了直立。
-
common 纠正不公;恢复权益📖 指纠正对某人造成的错误或压迫,帮助其恢复应有的权利和公平待遇。💡 常用 right the wrongs done to sb、right the oppressed 和 right an injustice,通常接表示受害者或不公的宾语。这个义项比一般的“改正错误”更正式,也更强调正义和权益的恢复。transitiveThe new policy aims to right the wrongs suffered by low-income families.新政策旨在纠正低收入家庭所遭受的不公。
