 ♣ nice, beautiful, fine, pretty, wonderful
　这组词的共同意思是“美丽的，漂亮的”。其区别是：beautiful形容人时，常指人的外貌、外表美。nice与wonderful意思相近，形容人时多指人的行为、性格美；如形容人的外表一般要用look nice或look wonderful, nice在口语中使用普遍。fine描述人时，指人的品质“优秀”，举止“文明”，具有内在的美；描述物时，指制作“精细”“雅致”，具有艺术欣赏价值；描述言辞、衣物时，指“漂亮的”“华丽的”；描述天气时，指“晴朗”。pretty用于形容女性或小孩时，侧重指小巧玲珑之美。例如：
　She is very beautiful.　她漂亮极了。
　He is a nice〔wonderful〕 man.　他是一个好人。
　She looks nice〔wonderful〕.　她看上去很美。
　He's very fine musician.　他是一个优秀的音乐家。
　It rained all morning, but turned fine later.　一早上都下雨，但后来转晴了。
　You are always a very pretty girl.　你一向是位漂亮的姑娘。
