英语六级语法用法辨析:healthy与healthful用法辨析
1. healthy 有两个意思,一是指“人本身健康的”,二是指“有益于健康的”。如:
Good food keeps you healthy. 好的饮食使你健康。
Cycling is certainly healthier than driving. 骑车肯定比开车有利于健康。
有时用于比喻义。如:
That book is not healthy reading for children. 那本书供小孩读不健康。
2. healthful通常只表示“有益于健康的”。如:
Doing morning exercises is very healthful. 做早操对健康很有益。
Why don't you eat such healthy [healthful] foods? 你为什么不吃那些有益于健康的食物?
此词在现代英语中用得不多(已属过时用法),一般用healthy代替。
