| 释义 | exhaustive, exhausting Exhaustive ordinarily means "testing all possibilities or considering all elements; thorough." Only very rarely is it used with the same meaning as exhausting, and then it runs the risk of being misunderstood. Though something that is exhaustive may prove to be exhausting as well, the meanings of the two words are distinct. • ... it re-creates in exhaustive (and sometimes exhausting) detail the roller-coaster feel of the campaign —Ken Auletta, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 28 July 1985 |
