multi-purpose is a more positive word than all-purpose and emphasizes how useful and versatile a thing is. an all-purpose thing is more likely to be sth quite ordinary that you just use for everything because you cannot afford or cannot be bothered to make or get sth different for each purpose. all-purpose is used more in american english.与 all-purpose 相比，multi-purpose 更具褒义，强调物品用途广泛、功能多样。all-purpose 更有可能修饰颇为普通的物品，之所以用于不同用途，只是因为买不起或是不愿费神去做或买单一用途的东西。all-purpose 较多用于美式英语。flexible adjective 2➤flexible working hours弹性工作时间➤flexible materials柔韧的材料flexible ♦︎ springy ♦︎ elastic ♦︎ supplethese words all describe sth that can bend easily.这些词均表示易弯曲的、有弹性的、柔韧的。patterns and collocations 句型和搭配◆flexible / elastic materials◆very flexible / springy / elastic / supple■ flexible /fleksəbl/ (especially of materials) that can bend easily without breaking（尤指材料）柔韧的，可弯曲的，有弹性的◆you'll need 2 metres of flexible plastic tubing.你将需要 2 米挠性塑料管。 opp rigid → solid ■ springy /sprɪŋi/ returning quickly to its original shape after being pushed, pulled or stretched有弹性的；有弹力的◆we walked across the springy grass.我们走过松软的草地。ⓘ springy is used mainly to talk about things such as hair, grass, moss and heather. * springy 主要用来描述 hair、grass、moss、heather 等。■ elastic (especially of materials) able to stretch and return to its original size and shape（尤指材料）有弹性的，有弹力的◆an elastic material is usually placed around the upper arm.弹性材料通常套在上臂。■ supple soft and able to bend easily without cracking易弯曲的；柔韧的◆moisturizing cream helps to keep your skin soft and supple.保湿霜有助于保持皮肤柔软有弹性。ⓘ supple is used most often with words relating to the body: skin, fingers, spine and movement. * supple 最常修饰与身体相关的词，如 skin、finger、spine 和 movement。flexible /fleksəbl/ (approving) that can change or be changed to suit new conditions or situations能适应新情况的；灵活的；可变动的◆what is needed is a more flexible design.需要的是更灵活的设计。◆we can offer you flexible working hours.我们可以为你安排弹性工作时间。◆can you be flexible about when you take your leave?你休假的时间可以变通一下吗？opp inflexible → deep-seated ▸ flexibility noun [uncountable] ◆computers offer a much greater degree of flexibility in the way work is organized.利用计算机，工作安排可以灵活得多。▸ flexibly adverb◆managers must respond flexibly to new developments in business practice.管理者必须灵活应对商业活动中的新发展。flexible /fleksəbl/ (especially of materials) that can bend easily without breaking（尤指材料）柔韧的，可弯曲的，有弹性的◆you'll need 2 metres of flexible plastic tubing.你将需要 2 米挠性塑料管。 opp rigid → solid flexible/ˈfleksəbl ||; ˈflɛksəbḷ/adj1. able to bend or move easily without breaking 柔韧的 2. that can be changed easily 灵活的；有弹性的: ◇flexible working hours 弹性工作时间 [opp] inflexible 反义词为inflexible➔flexibility /ˌfleksəˈbɪlɪti ||; ˌflɛksəˈbɪlətɪ/ noun [u]flexiblesee ⇨ bend 4 ⇨ change/not change 11,27 flex·i·ble /`flɛksəbḷ; ˈfleksɪbəl/adj 1. able to change or be changed easily 灵活的，可变通的:◇flexible working hours 弹性工作时间→ opposite 反义词 inflexible 2. easy to bend 易弯曲的:◇shoes with flexible rubber soles 软橡胶底的鞋子 |
