詞義辨析：
intimate, close, familiar
這三個詞的***同意思是“親近,親密”。其區別是：
familiar指經常接觸,長時間的交往使彼此熟悉,親近,甚至隨便,不拘小節; close指由於感情、愛好、興趣等方面的接近而趨於親近,也指關系上的親密; intimate是正式用語,指由於有某種關系(如血緣關系、朋友關系等)或深刻了解彼此的思想感情,或有***同的愛好、誌向而親近。例如:
His familiar behaviour annoys me,I don't know him at all well.他隨便的態度使我很不自在,其實我和他壹點也不熟悉。
They are close friends.他們是親密的朋友。
He is on intimate terms with my father.他和我父親的關系很親密。
