Language points
【辨析】 alive/live/living和lively的异同
(1)lively有“活泼的、快活的、生动的”等意思, 可以指人或物, 可作定语或表语; 但它不可意为“活着的”, 而其他三个可以。
(2)alive, live, living都可意为“活的、有生命的”, 与dead意义相反。但live通常只作前置定语, 且一般用于动物; alive、living不仅可作定语(alive只能置于名词后; living一般置于名词前, 也可置于名词后), 也可以作表语。
(3) living主要指在某个时候是活着的,而alive指本来有死的可能,但仍活着的。而且,作主语补足语或宾语补足语时,只能用alive;作比喻义(如“活像...”、“活生生的”等)解时,要用living。
(4)只有living前加the方可表示“活着的人”, 作主语时, 视作复数。
