credible,creditable
这两个词并非同义词。credible表示可信的(believable or trustworthy)意思,通常指人物、言语、历史、故事等的可信;creditable表示可称誉的、可赞赏的(honourable,respectable or praiseworthy)意思,通常指人的行为,表现或工作而言。例:
This is hardly credible.
此事难以置信。
His words are credible.
他的话是可信的。
The performance of Broadway Show is highly creditable.
百老汇歌舞团的表演是非常值得赞许的。
Credible的反义词是incredible;creditable的反义词是discreditable.下面将credible和creditable用在一个句子中,以便区分:
The report that Mr.Lin has done a creditable job is credible.
报告说,林先生做了一件值得赞许的工作,这是可信的。
顺便在此指出,credulous一词与credible有关。后者是可信的,前者是轻信的(too willing to believe what you are told)。例:
Youre so credulous that you could be easily fooled.
你这么轻信,你很容易上当受骗。
