eatable,edible
这一对词都可以用作形容词和名词,都有可吃的词义,但涵义有细微的差异。
Eatable源出于古英语etan;edible源出于拉丁语edibilis.前者着重表示可吃的、能吃的意味,但可吃、能吃并不等于食物可口和好吃,例如食品不够新鲜或烧得太生太熟时,也是 something eatable.后者则着重表示本来不是食物,但吃下去也无害之意。
通过下面的例句,我们可以辨别它们的不同涵义:
These bananas are over-ripe but they are eatable.
这些香蕉长得太熟,可是还是可以吃的。
This food is scarcely eatable.
这种食物难以咽下。
It is said seaweeds are edible.
据说,海藻是可以吃的。
Toadstools are not edible.
毒菌是不能吃的。
Eatable用作名词时,常用复数形式,在词尾加-s.edible也是如此,如:They are not edibles.
