    小知识

    Spare describes something that is extra. If you have a spare tire for your bike you can replace a flat, and if there's enough change in your pocket you can spare some to patch a friend's tire.

    As a noun, a verb, and an adjective, the word spare has many meanings. A leftover part is a spare, you can spare a life when you save an animal or person, and you have spare time when you finish a project early. If you “spare no expense” you spend lots of money and when you spare a friend's feelings, you keep upsetting details to yourself. And if you have a moment to spare, you have time to share.

    单词用法

    词语辨析
    spare,emaciated,haggard,lean,thin
    这组词都可表示“瘦”。其区别是:
    spare指人的身材给人以美感的瘦;
    thin既可指人的身材,也可指人的身体某部位瘦,大多数指因疾病或疲劳而消瘦;
    emaciated表示的“瘦”主要是由疾病和营养不良造成的;
    haggard指人的面孔憔悴的,枯槁的,主要是由于忧虑和少眠所致;
    lean指人天生瘦,是缺少脂肪的意思。
    例如:She was a tall,spare girl.她是个瘦高个儿的姑娘。
    His face was thin他的脸瘦。
    He was emaciated by long illness.他由于长期生病而瘦弱了。
    The haggard faces of the rescued miners showed what they had suffered.被救出的矿工枯槁的面容表明他们遭受了什么样的苦难。
    He had the lean fit look of a trained athlete.他具有一个受过训练的运动员的清瘦而健康的面容。
    单词解说
    spare的基本意思是“节省,节约,舍不得,吝惜”,引申还可表示“珍惜”。
    spare还可作“抽出,让给,分出,匀出,腾出”解,指因为有多余,将某物让给别人以后,对自己仍不造成困难,或表示“留出时间做某事,抽出时间”。
