常见错误

❌ 错误:The book is shortish than I expected.
✓ 正确:The book is shorter than I expected.

shortish 是形容词原级,不能用于比较级;应使用“shorter”来表示“更短”。

❌ 错误:He is a shortish man, about 180 cm tall.
✓ 正确:He is a short man, about 170 cm tall.

shortish 意为“相当短的”,通常用于描述稍短于平均长度的事物;对于身高,如果180厘米通常不被视为“短”,应使用“short”或具体描述。

近义词辨析

short

short 是基本形容词,意为“短的”,语气中性;shortish 则带有“相当短的”或“稍短的”含义,更口语化,暗示长度接近但未达到标准短。

The rope is short (明确短) vs. The rope is shortish (相当短,可能勉强够用)。

brief

brief 强调时间或内容的短暂和简洁,常用于正式场合;shortish 更侧重于物理长度或时间的“相当短”,语气更随意。

a brief meeting (会议简短高效) vs. a shortish meeting (会议相当短,可能非正式)。
