thoughtful
★★
🇺🇸 /θˈɔtfʌl/
🇬🇧 /ˈθɔːtfəl/
thoughtful 主要表示“经过认真思考的、周到的”,也常表示“体贴他人的、替别人着想的”。
💡 记忆钩子
把心思放进去:先是认真动脑、仔细考虑,进而把这种考虑用在别人身上,就成了体贴周到。
📝 学习建议
- 不要只把 thoughtful 理解成“想得很多”;在描述人的行为、礼物或举动时,它通常带有“替别人着想”的褒义。
- 学习时可先掌握“认真思考”这一核心概念,再记住它常进一步表示“体贴、周到”,不要把两个意思割裂开。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 深思熟虑的;认真考虑的📖 指一个人或一种做法经过认真思考,而不是草率决定;重点是把事情想清楚、考虑周全。💡 常见结构是“a thoughtful person”或“a thoughtful decision”,也可说“be thoughtful about + 名词”。这个意思侧重思考和判断本身,不一定涉及对别人的关心;不要把它一律翻成“聪明的”,因为它强调的是认真考虑。She gave a thoughtful answer to the difficult question.她认真思考后回答了这个难题。A thoughtful person checks the facts before making a decision.考虑周全的人会在作出决定前核实事实。
-
core 体贴的;周到的📖 指一个人的言行考虑到了别人的感受、需要或处境,因此让人感到体贴和周到;这是“把认真考虑用在别人身上”的意思。💡 常见结构是“a thoughtful gesture/gift/message”或“be thoughtful of/about someone”,其中后两种结构用于说明对谁、对什么事情体贴周到。这个意思通常修饰具体行为、礼物或言语,而不是泛指“好”;不要把 thoughtful gift 理解成“有思想的礼物”,而应理解为“经过用心挑选的礼物”。Bringing her favorite tea was a thoughtful gesture.带来她最喜欢的茶是一个很体贴的举动。
