acute 意为“剧烈的,严重的”,通常指缺乏或需要到危急的程度,有时也可形容其他紧急情况。
critical 意为“关键的”,表示出于极度缺乏的状态或事件的转折点,与crucial相似。它与crucial的区别在于它对缺乏的或危急的程度有更准确的衡量。
crucial 意为“决定性的,紧要关头的”,最为笼统,适用于上述两种情况。
urgent 意为“紧急的”,他的语气比上述各词要温和,表示危机接近了,但不强调所指的问题是重要的,仅强调紧急的状态。
sharp 指“尖或刃”,用于人时, sharp 表示“有洞察力的, 精明的, 机警的”, 着重“狡猾”“不易受骗”。
keen 一般指“刃”, keen 表示人的“锐敏”、 “聪明”、 “善于思索”。
acute 只用于学术语中,acute 侧重指“人观察事物的深刻性以及分辨问题的细致性。”
