英语是一门语言,我们如何用英语来描述这门语言呢?
英语中的形容词都是用来描述一些事物或者事情,之前我们整理过描述颜色或者人的行为的单词,今天我们来看描写人们说话方式的形容词。
我们知道,汉语中描述一个人讲话简洁可以说精炼、凝练,不爱讲话的人惜字如金,喜欢讲话的人口若悬河,小心讲话是谨言慎行,粗枝大叶地讲话叫口无遮拦,讲话难听叫刻薄,讲话好听是巧言令色等等,可见汉语中描述人们讲话或者用字的形容词非常丰富。
其实在英语中也有许多形容词是与讲话的方式有关的,有些词可能我们一眼就能认出来,却没想到可以描述讲话的方式,小编今天就为大家介绍这些词汇。
鉴于之前的单词都是英语,没有汉语意思,今天我们特别整理的中英双语释义的词汇,以飨大家。
这里是其中的20个单词,后面的单词还在整理当中。
