steep, sheer,vertical 這些形容詞均含有“陡峭的,險(xiǎn)峻的”之意,從“陡”的程度來看,大致為:steep?<?sheer?<?vertical
1. steep?指坡度向上逐漸增加的斜陡坡,強(qiáng)調(diào)險(xiǎn)峻,暗示難于攀登。如:
Steep stairs may leave you giddy and faint.??陡直的樓梯可使人頭暈?zāi)垦!?/p>
They were both breathing hard from the steep climb.?從懸崖爬上來之后,他倆都很費(fèi)力地喘著氣。
2. sheer?指自始至終近于垂直的陡峭,不僅僅很難爬上去,甚至于不可能攀登,英文詞典對(duì)它的解釋是almost vertical, very steep。如:
The cliff plunged in a sheer drop down to the beach.??懸崖陡峭直下海灘。
The river runs between walls of sheer rock.?小河從峻峭的巖石中間流過。
3. vertical指相對(duì)于另一線或平面,或相對(duì)于地面,是垂直的、豎的、直立的,與steer相對(duì),更“陡”,即“陡”到了“垂直”的程度。如:
The climber inched up a vertical wall of rock.??攀登者慢慢爬上了陡直的石壁。
The gadget can be attached to any vertical or near vertical surface.?該裝置可以裝在任何垂直或近似垂直的平面上。
