adj.(形容词)

poor的基本意思是“贫困的,贫穷的”,用于描写长期或临时处于贫困状态的人,也可指那些被认为没有足够钱的人所具有的卑劣、无知和不道德; 用于物时,还可作“低劣的,次等的”“贫乏的”“贫瘠的”解,主要指在数量上、质量上不足或低于期望值。可用作表语,也可用于名词前作定语,可用于比较等级。

poor作“可怜的,不幸的,遗憾的”解时,指对境遇表示怜悯和同情,没有比较级和最高级,在句中只用作定语。

poor前可加定冠词the而用如名词,表示一类人,意思是“穷人”,可以作主语、宾语,但不能加不定冠词,也不能在词尾加 -s 。the poor做主语时,谓语动词应用复数形式。

adj.(形容词)

poor, hard up, lower classes

这三个词(组)都用于描写一些人,这些人不能获得足够的钱物以保证像样的生活水平。其区别是：

poor是其中最广义的词,可指长期或临时的物质或精神的匮乏; hard up是poor的口头用语,常指短期物质的匮乏,例如发工资前借钱买午餐或庄稼歉收时的农民,都可用hard up; lower classes习惯上用于指在任何社会中社会地位和经济地位最低的一些人,那些所谓lower classes的人通常是穷的,然而如今该词常用作带贬义的势利语,指那些胸无大志,缺少教养的人,这些人经济上也许贫也许富。例如:

If prices continue to advance, poor people will find it hard to live.如果物价继续上涨,穷人的日子就更不好过了。

I am hard up for money this month.我这个月手头拮据。

He is a member of lower classes.他是下层社会的一员。

adj.(形容词)汤姆的汉语水平不高。

误

正

正

析

误句是汉式英语。
He is a poor liar.

误

他是个可怜的说谎者。

正

他是个不高明的说谎者。

析

本句中poor实际上是修饰与施事名词有关的动作,而不是修饰施事名词本身的固有特征。

☆ 1200年进入英语，直接源自古法语的poure；最初源自古典拉丁语的pauper，意为贫穷的，可怜的。
