Absurd is more frequent in British English than in American English, and is slightly more formal than ridiculous. 这两个词含义差别很小。ridiculous指某事物招致嘲笑(ridicule)；absurd指事物完全不合逻辑或不适当，常令人发笑。absurd在英式英语中较在美式英语中更常用，且比ridiculous稍正式一些。■ silly stupid or embarrassing, especially in a way that is more typical of a child than an adult （尤指像小孩一样）可笑的，荒唐的，冒傻气的◆I feel really silly in these clothes.穿上这些衣服，我觉得很可笑。◆She had a silly grin on her face.她一脸憨笑。◆This is getting silly!
