   “聪明,聪颖,聪慧……”,和汉语一样,英语的“聪明”也不止“smart”,今天Jenny和Connor要来讨论不同角度的聪明英语怎么说。


  关键词:
  #1.Clever & Smart: 聪明
  这两个词都是表示“聪明”的常见词。
  Clever:
  美式英语里, clever有时指狡猾、小聪明;
  英式英语里,clever基本上都是褒义的。
  Smart:用法很多,不止So smart, very smart:
  A smart one: He is a smart one.
  A smart cookie: kids, young people
  Mr. smartie pants: teasing people, showing off, 自作聪明
  另外,Smart也是“智能” :
  Smartphone: 智能手机
  smart home: 智能家居
  #2.Bright, Brilliant, Brainy:有脑子
  Bright:always postive
  Brilliant: way more than smart,非常聪明
  Brainy:有脑子
  怎么用:
  I got this really bright student in my class. 我班里有个很聪明的学生。
  That's a brilliant idea. 这个主意太机智了。
  Brainy的词根是brain,从brain这个词衍生出很多用法:
  A brainiac:有智慧的人
  Got a lot of brains: 很有脑子
  怎么用:
  She has got a lot of brains. 她很有脑子。
  注意:即使主语是单数,这个短语总是复数brains。
  #3.Sharp: 机灵、反应快
  Sharp:机智、反应快。与它相关的词有:
  Quick-witted: 机智灵敏
  Sharp-witted: 聪颖机智,反应快
  Street-smart: 街头智慧(不是读书得来的智慧,而是生活教会的智慧)
  Book-smart: 读书好、成绩好
  怎么用:
  He is quick-witted.
  另外,英式英语中sharp常指穿着,而不是聪明。
  You look sharp. 你今天打扮得真好看。
  让你显得很有智慧的一组英语词
  #4.Resourceful & street-smart:会想办法
  Resourceful和street-smart比较像:很有资源,很会想办法。不一定是读书好的那种聪明。
  和它相对的是Book-smart:从书本上得到的智慧。
  怎么用:
  We need a resourceful leader. 我们需要一个会解决问题的领导。
  #5.Intelligent, intellectual: 有智慧、知识分子
  Intelligent: 智慧,才智
  IQ (intelligence quotient):智商
  Intellectual: 有很多知识,会思考,像知识分子那样的智慧。
  Insightful: 洞察力很强,可以一语中的
  怎么用:
  Sherlock is insightful. 夏洛克非常有洞察力。
  You're very intelligent. 你太有才智了(比smart程度高)。
  #6.Genius:天才
  最高级的聪明就是天才了。
  怎么用:
  可以做名词也可以做动词
  Einstein is a genius. 爱因斯坦是个天才。
  It's a genius idea. 这是个天才般的主意。
