unusual
★★★
🇺🇸 /ʌnjˈuʒˌuʌl/
表示“不像平常那样”的英语词,主要作形容词,偶尔也作名词指不寻常的事物或人。
💡 记忆钩子
把 usual 想成日常轨道,unusual 就是偏离轨道、显得特别的东西:它可以是不同寻常的天赋、事件或做法;作名词时,则把这种偏离本身当作一个“异常现象”来谈。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握形容词用法;名词用法很少见,阅读时认识即可。
- unusual 只表示不常见或特别,不自动表示不好、危险或奇怪,具体评价要看上下文。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 不寻常的;少见的📖 指与通常情况不同、不是人们平常会遇到或预期会看到的;这种不同可能令人惊讶,也可能只是显得特别。💡 常用搭配是 “an unusual + 名词” 和 “It is unusual for somebody to do something”。它既能修饰具体的人或物,也能修饰行为、经历和情况;不要误以为它只表示“古怪”或“糟糕”。She showed an unusual talent for solving difficult puzzles.她展现出了不寻常的解难题天赋。It is unusual for him to arrive so early.他这么早到达是不寻常的。
