All four mean complete, with nothing missing. Entire and whole are neutral. Total focuses on a summed amount, often with numbers or costs. Intact stresses staying undamaged after risk of harm. Whole's noun use and total's noun or verb use are not compared here.

这四个词在此都表示“完整、全部”，但语气和用法不同：entire 和 whole 语气中性，强调完整无缺；total 侧重合计后的总量，常用于数字或费用；intact 强调保持完好、未受损。这里不比较 whole 作名词“整体”、total 作名词“总数”或动词“总计”的用法。
