聽(tīng)說(shuō)你們不能來(lái)和我們共度假期,深感遺憾。

smile.

Rogrettable的意義是“可悔恨的”、“可惋惜的”(causing regret)。例:

下面將regretful和regrettable用在一個(gè)句子中,以便區(qū)別:考試大
He made a regrettable mistake sometime ago and still feels regretful now.
不久之前他犯了一個(gè)令人遺憾的錯(cuò)誤,現(xiàn)在他心里依然感到懊悔。
在同一個(gè)句子中,使用派生于同一詞根的兩個(gè)形容詞,可以收到加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣的修辭效果。例:
John is in a bad temper and in no way regretful of/about his regrettable conduct.
約翰在發(fā)脾氣,他絲毫不為他的令人遺憾的行為而感到后悔。
關(guān)于形容詞后綴- ful和- able(或-ible)的涵義區(qū)別以及 contemptuous,contemptible;respectful、repectable;intelligent,intelligible的詞意區(qū)別,請(qǐng)讀者自查字典,希望能觸類旁通,由此及彼地聯(lián)想到其他類似詞語(yǔ)的關(guān)系和區(qū)別。
