Foolish is a rather formal word, used especially in writing. 说某人stupid常被视为一种冒犯；dumb冒犯程度稍低，可用于朋友之间，以示亲密；silly是较温和的词，对孩童讲话时尤为如此，但如用于成人则仍具冒犯性。foolish是相当正式的词，尤用于书面语。 ■ mad (especially BrE, informal, sometimes disapproving) very stupid; not at all sensible 极愚蠢的；很不明智的◆You must be mad to risk it.你去冒这种风险，简直是疯了。◆'I'm going to buy some new clothes.'
