19、大，巨大”。另外表示“大” 的还有“ big, tall, vast, large, great” 等。 说人、动物、树木等有生命的东西，主要 用tall不用high 例如 a tall woman 一个高个子妇女 a tall horse 一个高大的马,Language points,说一个不与地面接触的人和物的高时，要用 high，而不用tall。比如人站在桌子上时， 飞机飞上天时。例如 He is high up in the tree. 他高高地爬在树上。 The plane is so high in the sky. 飞机在空中这么高。, 指建筑物、山时要tall或high都可以，
20、不过 high的程度比tall高。 high可作副词，tall不能。 tall的反义词为short, high的反义词为low。,e.g. Our factory is a big/large one. 我们的工厂很大。 （1）在表示物体重量、人的身高大或长大了时， 只能用big。 e.g. The box is too big to carry. 这个盒子太大，拿不了。 （2）在表示数量时，用large, 不用big。 e.g. A large number of people came from all parts of the country to see the exhibition.

There have been many great presidents in American history. 美国历史上有很多伟大的总统。 在表示抽象意思时, 有也可用big, 但great更为正式。 e.g. Great/Big changes have taken place in our country in recent years. 近几年来我们国家发生了很大变化。,great 的意思是“大、伟大的”多用于抽象意思。 在修饰具体事物时带有一定的感
22、情色彩。,vast常用来指“广袤无垠的”、“面积广阔的”。 e.g. a vast forest, a vast sea, a vast desert, vast darkness等。 huge指巨大的往往指体积。 e.g. a huge stone, a huge building等。,Exercises,用a, an, /, the 完成下列句子。,1. _ Knowledge is power. 2.
