adj.(形容词)

1. minor用作形容词的基本含意是指某事物在程度、大小、数量或重要性等方面不如其他事物。该词常用作定语,偶尔也可用作表语。
2. minor本身已有比较的含意,因而该词不用于比较等级。

marginal，minor，negligible，minimal

这些形容词均含“不重要的、次要的”之意。

marginal指处于边缘，幅度、范围小，故价值或重要性不大。

minor多指与别的比较后显得不重要，或指较少、较小。

negligible指数量小，不重要，微不足道或可忽略不计。

minimal指最少、最低或最小。

• ☆ 1212年进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的minor，意为较小的，年幼的；最初源自古典拉丁语的minuere。
