1.牛津将apparent解释为obvious,说明两个词没本质区别都是,easytosee,understandetc,美国传统词典更是,用Synonym同意字来说这两个词,但剑桥的解释则认为apparent是abletosee,而obvious是easytosee,这可以看出apparent没后者明显。
例如:
Fornoapparentreasonthemanoppositesuddenlyscreamed.(固定用法)
Theyhaveasmallchildsoforobviousreasonstheyneedmoney.(固定)
2.词义没区别,但固定用法有点区别:
anapparentproblem一个答案明显的问题
anobvioussolution一个明显的解决办法
It'sobvious/apparentthat..很明显
It'sbecomingapparent...变的明显
apparent不做宾语,而obvious有withobviousannoyance
Thereasonsarenotimmediatelyobvious.(noapparent)
