sufficient, adequate, enough
enough,sufficient,adequate这三个词都表示“足够的”或“充分的”.其中只有enough可以用作副词或名词,含义仍为“足够的”.
enough和sufficient在含义上几乎没有差异,只是enough的用法较多,这两个词都表示“完全满足需要,而且既不多余,也不缺少”.
adequate虽然也表示“足够的”、“充分的”,但是和另二词之间有着比较明显的细微差异,因为这个词的内涵是：对于必不可少的东西在数量上应当是合理的、公平的或不苛刻的.Five men will be quite enough (or sufficient).这句话说的是：5个人就十分充足了, 再多给一个人就没有必要了His wages are adequate to support three people. 这句话说的是：他的工资够养活3个人的.即这些钱养活3个人够得上一般生活水平,并不苛刻.可见其差异非常细微.词义差别越细微,表意越准确.例如：“我为他干了3小时的活,他付给我20英镑.我觉得那20英镑的工钱是足够了的”.这两句话在英译时,其中的“足够的”必须用adequate,因为这里说的“足够”包含了“公平、合理”的意思.故这两句可译为：I worked for him three hours, and he paid me 20 pounds. I think the 20 pounds are adequate for my work. 此外, 应注意下面例句中enough的各种用法
