explicit

Compared meaning: clearly and fully stated (adjective).

比较义项：明确的（形容词）。

• express

  Formal and mainly legal or literary; used only before a noun (express wish, express consent, express purpose), rarely as a predicate; contrasts with something merely implied.

  正式，多见于法律或书面语；只用在名词前（如express wish、express consent、express purpose等固定搭配），很少作表语；强调与“默许、隐含”相对的“明确表示”。

  It was her express wish that no flowers be sent to the funeral.

  这是她明确表示的愿望：葬礼上不要送花。

• explicit 本词

  The everyday, general-purpose word for something spelled out in full detail; can be used before a noun or after 'be'; contrasts with implicit.

  是三者中最通用的词，指把内容说得详细、清楚；既可放在名词前，也可用在be动词后；与implicit（含蓄的）相对。

  The manual gives explicit step-by-step instructions for assembling the furniture.

  说明书给出了组装家具的详细明确的分步说明。

• unequivocal

  The strongest of the three; stresses total absence of doubt or ambiguity, typically describing an answer, statement, or attitude; often used after 'be'.

  三者中语气最强，强调完全没有疑义或含糊；通常用来描述回答、声明或态度，常放在be动词后。

  Her answer was unequivocal: she would never move back home.

  她的回答毫不含糊：她绝不会搬回家里住。

All three mean clearly and fully stated. Express is formal and legal, used only before nouns like wish or consent. Explicit is the general, everyday word, used before a noun or after "be". Unequivocal is strongest, stressing there is no doubt at all.

这三个词都表示“说得清楚、不含糊”，但正式程度和用法不同：express多用于法律或书面语，只放在wish、consent、purpose等名词前；explicit是最通用的词，可修饰说明或陈述，也能放在be动词后；unequivocal语气最强，强调毫无疑义，常用于回答、声明或态度。这里不比较explicit表示“内容露骨（如色情内容）”的义项，也不比较express作动词“表达”或作形容词“特快的”的义项。
