【例】I can’t tell you thedate, but it should be around July 4.
A. right B. accurate C. exact D. correct
例题的句意为“我不能告诉你确切的日期,不过应该是在7月4日左右”。 right, accurate, exact和correct都有“准确的,正确的”的意思,但是侧重点有所区别。
accurate
accurate表示“准确的,精确的”,强调事物的准确性,含有“不仅不出错,而且与事实无出入”的意思。例如:
He is accurate in his observation. 他观察准确。
Many people complain about not gathering accurate news. 许多人抱怨搜集不到准确的消息。
exact
exact表示“确切的,精确的”,强调“数量或质量上高度准确,完全符合标准或客观事实,即使是细枝末节也分毫不差”,语气比accurate强。例如:
I need to know the exact size. 我需要知道确切的尺寸。
His painting is an exact copy of the original. 他的画是与原作毫厘不差的临摹作品。
correct
correct表示“正确的”,强调“按照一定的标准或规则来衡量,没有错误”。例如:
He gave correct answers to the questions. 他给出了这些问题的正确答案。
The players shall go round the course, passing the marks in the correct order. 选手们必须跑完全程,按正确的顺序经过各个标志。
right
right使用广泛,表示“对的,正确的”,常常可与correct通用,但它暗含“在道德、理解、行动等方面正确”的意思。例如:
Be guided by your sense of what is right and just. 做事要有是非观念和正义感。
He got into a situation wherein it is hard to decide what is right and wrong. 他陷入了一种难以分辨是非的局面。
根据例题的句意,可知句中强调的不是日期的正确与错误,而是强调日期的准确性、确定性,因而可以排除right和correct,选用语气更为强烈的exact。

A. exact B. right C. correct D. accurate

【参考答案】
1. D (句意为“新闻工作者的报道并非一贯准确。CNN就是一个反面例子”。报道的准确与否强调的是是否与事实相符,所以选D)
2. C (根据句意“穿得体的服装对那些经常参加重要典礼的成功人士来说是必要的”,可排除A、B选项。根据场合选择服装是我们穿衣打扮的准则,所以这里应选择correct,表示“按照一定的标准或规则来衡量,没有错误”)
