brittle, fragile, frail有什么区别?这些形容词都含有“易碎的”之意。brittle : 指没有弹性或伸缩性的脆性材料,暗示受压或被扭曲时易碎。例如:The pond was covered in a brittle layer of ice.(池塘覆盖了一层易碎的冰。)fragile : 除指易碎外,还指人身体虚弱,动辄就得病。例如:The old lady was increasingly fragile after her operation.(那位老太太手术后身体越来越虚弱。)frail : 多指人体虚弱,也指某物不耐用,易碎易损。例如:This glass disc looks very fragile.(这个玻璃盘子看起来很容易碎。)
