姐妹们,今天来聊聊英语里让人头大的high和tall!🤯 这两个词都跟“高”有关,但用法可大不同!一不小心用错,就会闹笑话哦!😂 今天就来给大家彻底扒一扒,保证你们看完这篇笔记,再也不用担心用错啦!🚀
一、场景模拟大作战! 🎭
先来几个场景,看看你能不能选对:
- 喜马拉雅山很______. (A. high B. tall)
- 姚明很______. (A. high B. tall)
- 那架飞机飞得真______. (A. high B. tall)

答案揭晓: A, B, A, B, B. 你答对了吗?😜
二、High vs. Tall 核心区别! 🔑
High:通常指距离地面有一定高度,强调的是“高度”这个概念本身,或者指水平面以上的高度。
Tall:通常指人或物自身的高度,强调的是从底部到顶部的垂直距离。
简单来说,high 描述的是一种状态,而 tall 描述的是一种属性。
三、用法细分,各个击破! 🎯
1️⃣ High 的用法详解:
描述山、建筑物(通常指大型建筑或从远处看)等的高度:
The high mountains were covered in snow. (高山被白雪覆盖。)
We could see the high buildings of the city in the distance. (我们可以看到远处城市的高楼大厦。)
这次去重庆玩,我发现重庆不愧是山城,建筑都建在high hills上,很有特色!⛰️
描述物体在空中或水平面以上的位置:
The plane is flying high in the sky. (飞机在高空飞行。)
The kite soared high above the trees. (风筝在树梢上高高飘扬。)
Birds are nesting in the high branches. (鸟儿在高高的树枝上筑巢。)
描述程度、水平、数量等较高:
The temperature is very high today. (今天气温很高。)
The price of gold is high at the moment. (目前黄金价格很高。)
She has a high fever. (她发高烧。)
This food has a high level of fat. (这种食物脂肪含量很高。)
描述抽象事物(如声音、音调):
The singer hit a high note. (歌手唱了一个高音。)
The dog let out a high-pitched bark. (狗发出了一声尖叫。)
High还可以用作副词:
Aim high! (目标要远大!)
The bird flew high above us. (鸟儿在我们头顶上高高飞过。)
2️⃣ Tall 的用法详解:
描述人或细长物体(如树木、建筑物近景等)的高度:
He is very tall for his age. (以他的年龄来说,他个子很高。)
The tall trees provided shade from the sun. (高大的树木遮挡了阳光。)
I saw a tall, slender woman walking down the street. (我看到一个高挑苗条的女人走在街上。)
上次去北京旅游,站在故宫的红墙下,真的感觉这些宫殿好tall啊!🏯描述具体的垂直高度:
He is six feet tall. (他身高六英尺。)
The tree is about 20 meters tall. (这棵树大约有20米高。)
我家宝宝现在85cm tall了,长得好快呀!👶
Tall Tale (夸张的故事):
Don’t believe everything he says; it’s probably just a tall tale. (别全信他说的话,很可能只是个夸张的故事。)
四、特殊情况,灵活掌握! 🤔
建筑物:一般来说,当我们从远处看建筑物,或者强调建筑物的整体高度感时,用 high;当我们近距离观察建筑物,或者关注建筑物从底部到顶部的垂直距离时,用 tall。
例如:
The Empire State Building is a very high building. (帝国大厦是一座非常高的建筑。) (从远处看或整体感觉)
The Empire State Building is also very tall. (帝国大厦也很高。) (从底部到顶部的垂直距离)
上海的东方明珠广播电视塔,既可以说它high,也可以说它tall,具体看你想强调哪个方面。🗼
墙:一般用 high 来描述墙的高度。
The garden was surrounded by a high wall. (花园被一堵高墙围着。)
但是,如果这堵墙特别强调它的厚度和坚固,而不是高度,就不会用high或者tall了。
人: 一般都用tall来描述身高。但是,当你想表达某人地位很高,或者某人情绪高涨,可以用high。例如:He is high in the company. (他在公司地位很高。)
山: 可以用high mountain, 也可以用tall mountain, 取决于你对这座山的视角和感受.
>我去云南旅游的时候,爬了玉龙雪山。我觉得可以说“Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a very high mountain”,因为我想强调它海拔很高,离地面很远。🏔️ 但如果我站在山脚下,仰望山峰,觉得它从山脚到山顶的垂直距离很长,也可以说“It’s a very tall mountain”。其他比较级/最高级:
> high 的比较级是 higher,最高级是 highest。
>
> tall 的比较级是 taller,最高级是 tallest。例如:
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. (珠穆朗玛峰是世界上最高的山。)
John is taller than his brother. (约翰比他哥哥高。)
