People can be liberal with their money, cash, criticism or advice, often in a way that other people do not approve of. People are more likely to be generous with their time or help, and this is sth that other people do approve of. If sb is generous with their money, you can just say that they are generous (without stating 'with their money'). 表达此义时，liberal仅用于liberal with sth或liberal amounts of sth句式。liberal可与money、cash、criticism或advice搭配，常带贬义。generous较常与time或help搭配，常表示褒义。形容人在金钱方面慷慨大方，可以只说be generous（后面不接with their money）。■ ˈfree with sth phrase (written, often disapproving) ready to give sth, especially when it is not wanted （尤指别人不想要时）随便给出的◆He's too free with his opinions.他太爱随便发表意见了。 tolerant adjective tolerant ♦︎ liberal ♦︎ enlightened ♦︎ permissive ♦︎ open-minded ♦︎ indulgentThese words all describe people who accept that other people's opinions or behaviour are often different from their own. 这些词均表示宽宏大度的、心胸宽阔的、开明的。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆tolerant / liberal / permissive in sth◆tolerant / open-minded / indulgent towards sb / sth◆tolerant / indulgent with sb◆a tolerant / a liberal / an enlightened / a permissive / an open-minded attitude◆a tolerant / a liberal / an enlightened / a permissive approach◆tolerant / liberal / enlightened views◆a tolerant / a liberal / a permissive atmosphere◆a tolerant / a liberal / an enlightened / an open-minded person / man / woman◆liberal / permissive / indulgent parents◆a tolerant / a liberal / an enlightened / a permissive society◆very tolerant / liberal / enlightened / permissive / open-minded◆remarkably tolerant / liberal / enlightened■ tolerant / /ˈtɒlərənt; NAmE ˈtɑːlərənt/ (approving) able to accept what other people say or do even if you do not agree with it 包容的；容忍的；宽容的◆She was becoming less quick to condemn and more tolerant of others.她变得不再动辄指责别人，更能包容了。◆There is little chance of a tolerant democratic system emerging.出现一个宽容的民主制度的可能性很小。OPP intolerant ⇨ biased see also tolerance ⇨ patience , easy-going ⇨ calm adj. ■ liberal /ˈlɪbərəl/ / (usually approving) willing to understand and respect other people's behaviour and opinions, especially when they are different from your own; believing people should be able to choose how they behave （对异己的行为、意见等）宽宏大度的；心胸宽阔的；开明的◆Her parents are very liberal and allow her a lot of freedom.她的父母很开明，让她享有许多的自由。◆His later films reflect the more liberal values of the 1960s.他后期的影片反映了20世纪60年代更开放的价值观。■ enlightened / /ɪnˈlaɪtnd/ / [usually before noun] (approving) having or based on an understanding of people's needs or a situation; not based on old-fashioned attitudes or prejudices 开明的；有见识的；摆脱成见（或偏见）的◆More enlightened companies provided education for the workforce.一些较为开明的公司为在职人员提供教育。◆My mother had more enlightened opinions than my father.我妈的观点比我爸更为开明。■ permissive / /pəˈmɪsɪv; NAmE pərˈmɪsɪv/ allowing or showing a freedom of behaviour that many people do not approve of, especially in sexual matters 包容的；宽容的；放任的；（尤指两性关系）开放的◆Even in the most permissive times fidelity in marriage is important to many.就算是在最宽容的时代，对婚姻的忠诚对许多人来说依然很重要。◆He grew up before the permissive society (= the greater freedom in attitudes and behaviour that came in the 1960s and 1970s).他成长的年代是在20世纪六七十年代的宽容社会形成之前。■ ˌopen-ˈminded (approving) willing to listen to, think about or accept different ideas 容许不同意见的；思想开明的◆I encourage the children to be open-minded about new ideas and experiences.我鼓励孩子接受新观念和尝试新事物。■ indulgent /ɪnˈdʌldʒənt/ / (usually disapproving) tending to allow sb to have or do whatever they want 纵容的；放纵的◆Mothers are sometimes less indulgent towards daughters.母亲有时候对女儿不那么娇惯。 |
