grey 英文词源

grey

grey: [OE] Grey is an ancient colour term, traceable back all the way to a prehistoric Indo- European *ghrēghwos. From this was descended West and North Germanic *grǣwaz, which produced German grau, Dutch grauw, Swedish grå, and Danish graa as well as English grey. The distinction in spelling between British grey and American gray is a comparatively recent one. Dr Johnson in his Dictionary 1755 gave gray as the main form, and even into the early 20th century it was still quite common in Britain (The Times used it, for instance). Nor is grey by any means unknown in America.

grey

see gray.

grey 同义词解析

dark, dim, black, gloomy, obscure, vague, grey

这些形容词都含有"完全地或不完全地缺少光亮"之意。

dark： 最普通用词，指缺乏自然光线或人工照明，使某物漆黑无光或光线十分微弱。

dim： 指光线不足或视力较差，不能清晰地看见物体。

black： 侧重颜色是黑色的，有时也指无光的黑暗。

gloomy： 指光线不足或部分光线受阻而出现的阴暗。

obscure： 指因光线不充足而使物体灰暗不清，失去光泽或若隐若现。作借喻时指因复杂、深奥或含糊而难于理解。

vague： 通常作借喻用，形容抽象事物。

grey与dark意思相近，但侧重阴暗单调的意味。
