单词辨析
slender，gaunt，lean，thin
这组词都可形容人“瘦”。其区别是thin指因病、过分劳累或缺乏营养等而缺少正常的肌肉；gaunt指因饥饿或操劳过度而呈现的枯瘦或憔悴的面庞；lean强调缺乏脂肪，指自然的瘦，其肌肉却很结实；slender可指人或动物，作“细长的，苗条的”解，有时含有“纤弱”的意思。例如He has the gaunt face of a starving man.他是一副憔悴的面容的饿汉相。The forest ranger is lean.那位森林警察很结实。She admired Alice's slender build.她羡慕艾丽斯那苗条的身材。lean，slender，slim，slight，thin
这些形容词均有“瘦的”之意。lean侧重缺少脂肪。既可能是因病而瘦，也可能因饥饿而消瘦；也指身体消瘦，但肌肉结实，身体健康。slender指身体细长、体态优美、苗条适中，多用于指女性。slim指身体的细长，体重轻不着重外形的优美，可用于不同的性别，常用于减轻体重的人。slight指身材又瘦又小。thin普通用词，指腰细、骨架窄，常因疾病或疲劳而消瘦。
