    小心,那把厨房刀非常锋利,很危险。

  • edged 本词

    Classifies an object as having a cutting edge or blade at all, rather than describing how keen it is; formal or technical, common in compounds like 'sharp-edged' and the set phrase 'edged weapon'.

    强调该物体本身带有刃或刀锋这一属性,而不是说刃有多锋利;语体较正式或专业,常出现在“sharp-edged”这类复合词及“edged weapon(利器)”这一固定说法中。

    这家博物馆展出了一批古代的带刃武器,如剑和匕首。

Sharp and edged both relate to having a sharp edge, but differ. Sharp describes how keen an edge or point is, and is common, often used figuratively, as in a sharp mind. Edged simply says something has a cutting edge, as in edged weapon.

这两个词在这个义项上都可以表示物体带有锋利的刃或尖,但侧重点不同:sharp强调刃或尖有多锋利,edged强调物体本身具备刃这一属性。这里不比较edged作动词(挪动,慢慢靠近)的用法,也不比较sharp表示“剧烈的(疼痛)”“敏锐的”“突然的(转弯)”等其他义项。
