重点讲解

【短语解释】
原文:To a possum, bravery is just dumb.对负鼠来说 勇敢表示笨 。
stupid、idiot、dumb的区别:
idiot是名词,意思是蠢货,直接很鄙视,可以用做骂人,是最不客气最狠的说法。

dumb是形容词, 但没有idiot说的那么狠, 可以当作骂人的话,也可以表示比较中性的愚蠢。

dumb有时候也比较中性,就是表示蠢,有时候甚至可以说自己。
比如: I'm so dumb that I forget to bring the umbrella. 意思是"我傻了,忘带伞了。"

stupid则是最中性形容笨的形容词, 不带什么骂人的色彩。
比如:
He is stupid.他很笨
This stupid car won't start. 这破车发动不起来了!

总之从语气的不客气程度来说, idiot>dumb>stupid,
词性的区别在于, idiot是名词, 而dumb和stupid都是形容词。

原文:Maybe mammoths are going extinct because they get in danger.长毛象可能因为爱冒险而绝种
in danger和dangerous的区别:
in danger 处于危险中
dangerous 危险的
例子:
The world is in danger.【正确】
The world is dangerous.【错误】

in danger是说明the world处于“危险之中”,并不是说the world本身是“危险的”
dangerous是形容词,主语一般为人或动物。如:
He is a dangerous man.(他是个危险人物)=The man is dangerous.
Bears are one of the dangerous animals.(熊是危险的动物之一)=Bears are dangerous.
形容词主要用来修饰名词,表示事物的特征。dangerous显然不是the world的本身特征。


【日常用语】

Good point. Thanks for the advice.
说得好!多谢你的忠告。

Happy to help.
很高兴对你小有帮助。

That's ridiculous.
有什么大不了。
