。。。。。。。。其实, 学英语的难也就难在了如何分辨各种不同的同义词之间的“subtlety"。

以“大”为例。试问：你能列出多少个英文“大”词来，并用中文来准确地描述它们？（！！！：在英文里由于“大”是形容词，有些“大”用来描述“可数名词”，而有些“大”用来描述“不可数名词”。在你的描述中请用合适名词来说明这一点。）

A salmonfish of 140 years of age would look as colossal as a whale

I bet salmonfish cannot travel across the vast Pacific Ocean without taking modern transportation means
