adj.(形容词)

1. secret的基本意思是“秘密的”,指躲藏、躲避或被隐藏起来,不让别人注意到或看到,在句中可用作定语或表语。也可作“保密的或不公开的”解,在句中作定语。
2. secret无比较级和最高级形式。

n.(名词)

1. secret作名词时的意思是“秘密,机密”,也可作“奥秘”“秘诀,诀窍”解,此时只用作单数形式。
2. secret还可作“奥秘,神秘的事物”解,此时用复数形式。

n.(名词)

in secret, in the secret

这两个短语在意思上和用法上都不同：前者作“秘密地”或“偷偷地”解,作状语,相当于secretly; 后者则作“知道秘密”解,多用作表语。

adj.(形容词)

请对我们结婚的事尽量保密。

误 Please keep our marriage in secret as far as possible.

正 Please keep our marriage secret as far as possible.

正 Our marriage was kept in secret as far as possible.

析 “对某事保守秘密”用keep sth secret的结构, secret在此是形容词,作宾语补足语。in secret(秘密地,暗地里)一般只能作状语,可以用sth to be done in secret的形式。

n.(名词)

不要把这件事告诉别人。

误 This is to be kept a secret to the others.

正 This is to be kept a secret from the others.

析 secret如用作名词,可用keep sth a secret from或keep a/the secret from的结构表示“对…保守秘密”。

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的secretus，意为隐藏的。
