Both are rather informal but OK is slightly more informal than all right. Both words also mean 'safe'.与本组词的其他词相比，这两个词的正面含义略少，都用于口语中表示无病或无伤，而非身体健康。两个词都是非正式用语，但是OK较all right更不正式。两个词都有安全之意。➡ See also the entry for ⇨ safe1另见safe条第1义■fine [not before noun] (not used in negative statements; not used in the comparative or superlative不用于否定陈述；不用于比较级或最高级形式) (especiallyspoken) completely well健康；身体好◆'How are you?'
