很多同学经常分不清楚tall和high之间的区别,不知何时该用tall,何时该用high。主要原因就是tall与high翻译过来的中文意思都是“高的”,而且词性一致,都是形容词用在被动词之后。
那么我们就来辨析一下究竟tall和high之间有什么不同?

一般说到人,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。但是在形容一个不与地面接触的人和物的高度时,要用high,而不是用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。形容一些建筑物、山时,可以tall或high,不过high的程度比tall高。
另外,tall的反义词为short, high的反义词为low.
以上就是tall和high之间的基本释义,现在你能分辨清楚high与tall之间的区别了吗?
