Question

理论分析后,请举例

Answer 1

real， actual， true， existent
These adjectives are compared as they mean not imaginary but having verifiable existence.
当这些形容词意为非想象的而是能证实存在的时，常把它们进行比较。
Real implies that something is genuine or authentic or that what it seems or purports to be tallies with fact:
Real 暗指某事物是真实的或货真价实的，或指看上去或宣称与事实吻合的东西：
Don't lose the bracelet; it's made of real gold.
别把手镯丢了；那是真金做的。
My mother showed real sympathy for my predicament.
妈妈对我所处的困难表示出真正的同情。
“The general, in a well-feigned or real ecstasy, embraced him” (William Hickling Prescott).
“那位将军，要么就是装得天衣无缝，要么确实是欣喜若狂地拥抱了他” （威廉姆·希克林·普雷斯科特）。
Actual means existing and not merely potential or possible:
Actual 不仅仅意为具有潜在性或可能性，而且是的确存在的：
“rocks, trees . . . the actual world” (Henry David Thoreau);
“岩石，树木…这真实的 世界” （亨利·戴维·索罗）。
“what the actual things were which produced the emotion that you experienced” (Ernest Hemingway).
“那些能产生你所经历过的感情的真实事物是什么” （欧内斯特· 海明威）。
True implies that something is consistent with fact, reality, or the actual state of things:
True 暗指与事实、现实或事物的真实状态相一致：
“It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for supposing it true” (Bertrand Russell).
“如果一个陈述没有任何理由说明它是真实的话，让人很难心甘情愿地相信它” （伯特兰德·罗素）。
Existent applies to what has life or being:
Existent 指那些有生命或存在的东西：
