- proper還可表示“合乎體統(tǒng)的,正經(jīng)的,高尚的”,多用于修飾人。
- proper還可表示“本身的”和“嚴格意義上的”“真正的”,在句中作后置定語。
- proper在口語中還可用來加強語氣,表示“完全的”“徹底的”,常用在貶義詞或不愉快意義的名詞前。proper用于此意時,沒有比較級和最高級。
- proper可表示為“……的本身”,作后置定語,用于名詞后。例如Greece proper(希臘國的本部)和the Dictionary proper(本詞典正文);
- proper也可作前置定語,表示“真正的,實在的”。It is a proper mountain, not a hill. 這是座真正的山,不是丘陵。
