词汇精选：vague的用法和辨析  

一、详细释义：,adj.,模糊不清的；朦胧的,例句：,We saw a vague shape through the mist but we couldn't see who it was.,我们从雾中看到了一个模糊不清的人影，但我们看不清那是谁。,例句：,Everything looked vague in the heavy fog.,在浓雾中，一切东西看上去都很模糊。,含糊的；不明确的,例句：,You should not make vague promises.,你不该作含糊不清的承诺。,例句：,His thought was too vague to be described.,他的思路混混沌沌，难以理清。,无表情的,例句：,He was a small man with vague eyes.,他身材矮小，眼睛没有表情。,少许的,例句：,I haven't the vaguest idea what she means.,我一点也不知道她是什么意思。,二、词义辨析：,dark,dim,black,gloomy,obscure,vague,grey,这些形容词都含有“完全地或不完全地缺少光亮”之意。dark最普通用词，指缺乏自然光线或人工照明，使某物漆黑无光或光线十分微弱。dim指光线不足或视力较差，不能清晰地看见物体。black侧重颜色是黑色的，有时也指无光的黑暗。gloomy指光线不足或部分光线受阻而出现的阴暗。obscure指因光线不充足而使物体灰暗不清，失去光泽或若隐若现。作借喻时指因复杂、深奥或含糊而难于理解。vague通常作借喻用，形容抽象事物。grey与dark意思相近，但侧重阴暗单调的意味。,三、词义辨析：,vague,dim,indefinite,obscure,ambiguous,faint,这些形容词均含“不明确的，模糊的”之意。vague多指因语言不确切，太笼统或因构思含糊、不完善而造成模糊难解。dim侧重指或因光线暗淡，或因年代久远、身体欠佳等因素而产生视觉或察觉方面的困难。indefinite指无明确定义或限定，重点或总体轮廓不明确。obscure语气最强，指晦涩难懂。ambiguous指文章或讲话中，意思可能有多种理解，令人捉摸不定。faint指对某事物印象不深，或指声音微弱或希望的渺茫等。,四、参考例句：,Everything looked vague in the heavy fog.,在浓雾中，一切东西看上去都很模糊。,His vague reply disconcerted us pletely.,他那含糊的回答弄得我们很为难。,You should not make vague promises.,你不该作含糊不清的承诺。,I found that statement vague and unclear.,我认为那一说法含糊不清。,Our holiday plans are still rather vague.,我们的度假计划仍然没有明确。,A lot of the talk was apparently vague and general.,这次会谈的许多内容显然是含糊而笼统的。,His vague ideas crystallized into a definite plan.,他那些模糊的想法变成了一个明确的计划。,His thought was too vague to be described.,他的思路混混沌沌，难以理清。,The doctor gave a vague but negative response.,医生做出了一个含糊但否定的答复。,He was a small man with vague eyes.,他身材矮小，眼睛没有表情。
