adj.(形容詞)

poor的基本意思是“貧困的,貧窮的”,用于描寫長期或臨時處于貧困狀態(tài)的人,也可指那些被認為沒有足夠錢的人所具有的卑劣、無知和不道德; 用于物時,還可作“低劣的,次等的”“貧乏的”“貧瘠的”解,主要指在數(shù)量上、質(zhì)量上不足或低于期望值。可用作表語,也可用于名詞前作定語,可用于比較等級。

poor作“可憐的,不幸的,遺憾的”解時,指對境遇表示憐憫和同情,沒有比較級和最高級,在句中只用作定語。

poor前可加定冠詞the而用如名詞,表示一類人,意思是“窮人”,可以作主語、賓語,但不能加不定冠詞,也不能在詞尾加 -s 。the poor做主語時,謂語動詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

adj.(形容詞)

poor, hard up, lower classes

這三個詞(組)都用于描寫一些人,這些人不能獲得足夠的錢物以保證像樣的生活水平。其區(qū)別是：

poor是其中最廣義的詞,可指長期或臨時的物質(zhì)或精神的匱乏; hard up是poor的口頭用語,常指短期物質(zhì)的匱乏,例如發(fā)工資前借錢買午餐或莊稼歉收時的農(nóng)民,都可用hard up; lower classes習(xí)慣上用于指在任何社會中社會地位和經(jīng)濟地位最低的一些人,那些所謂lower classes的人通常是窮的,然而如今該詞常用作帶貶義的勢利語,指那些胸?zé)o大志,缺少教養(yǎng)的人,這些人經(jīng)濟上也許貧也許富。例如:

If prices continue to advance, poor people will find it hard to live.如果物價繼續(xù)上漲,窮人的日子就更不好過了。

I am hard up for money this month.我這個月手頭拮據(jù)。

He is a member of lower classes.他是下層社會的一員。

adj.(形容詞)湯姆的漢語水平不高。

誤

正

析

誤句是漢式英語。
He is a poor liar.

誤

他是個可憐的說謊者。

正

他是個不高明的說謊者。

析

本句中poor實際上是修飾與施事名詞有關(guān)的動作,而不是修飾施事名詞本身的固有特征。

☆ 1200年進入英語，直接源自古法語的poure；最初源自古典拉丁語的pauper，意為貧窮的，可憐的。
