adj.(形容词)

1. poor的基本意思是“贫困的,贫穷的”,用于描写长期或临时处于贫困状态的人,也可指那些被认为没有足够钱的人所具有的卑劣、无知和不道德; 用于物时,还可作“低劣的,次等的”“贫乏的”“贫瘠的”解,主要指在数量上、质量上不足或低于期望值。可用作表语,也可用于名词前作定语,可用于比较等级。
2. poor作“可怜的,不幸的,遗憾的”解时,指对境遇表示怜悯和同情,没有比较级和最高级,在句中只用作定语。
3. poor前可加定冠词the而用如名词,表示一类人,意思是“穷人”,可以作主语、宾语,但不能加不定冠词,也不能在词尾加 -s 。the poor做主语时,谓语动词应用复数形式。

adj.(形容词)

poor, hard up, lower classes

这三个词(组)都用于描写一些人,这些人不能获得足够的钱物以保证像样的生活水平。其区别是：

poor是其中最广义的词,可指长期或临时的物质或精神的匮乏; hard up是poor的口头用语,常指短期物质的匮乏,例如发工资前借钱买午餐或庄稼歉收时的农民,都可用hard up; lower classes习惯上用于指在任何社会中社会地位和经济地位最低的一些人,那些所谓lower classes的人通常是穷的,然而如今该词常用作带贬义的势利语,指那些胸无大志,缺少教养的人,这些人经济上也许贫也许富。例如:

If prices continue to advance, poor people will find it hard to live.如果物价继续上涨,穷人的日子就更不好过了。

I am hard up for money this month.我这个月手头拮据。

He is a member of lower classes.他是下层社会的一员。

下面两个句子意思不同:

The poor John died last night.

穷苦的约翰昨晚死了。

poor John died last night.

可怜的约翰昨晚死了。

下面两个短语意思不同:

the poor 穷人们

the poor men 那些穷人们

bad，evil，ill，poor，wicked

这些形容词均含“坏的”之意。

bad含义广泛，指任何不好的或不合需要的品质。

evil语气比bad强，强调道德上的邪恶不良，含狡猾凶险或危害他人的意味。

ill与evil意义接近，但语气弱一些，常指道德或性质方面的不良。

poor普通用词，侧重指事物的质量或数量低于标准或不合要求。用于指天气与食品时可与bad通用。

wicked语气比evil强，指居心叵测，任意违反道德标准，有意作恶。

adj.(形容词)

汤姆的汉语水平不高。

误 Tom's Chinese level is low.

正 Tom's Chinese level is poor.

正 Tom is poor in Chinese

析 误句是汉式英语。

He is a poor liar.

误 他是个可怜的说谎者。

正 他是个不高明的说谎者。

析 本句中poor实际上是修饰与施事名词有关的动作,而不是修饰施事名词本身的固有特征。

• ☆ 1200年进入英语，直接源自古法语的poure；最初源自古典拉丁语的pauper，意为贫穷的，可怜的。
