| 释义 | having no others like this oneThese words are used when talking about a person or thing that has no other people or things like it. One of the most common adjectives for this is only. Only is used when there is just one person or thing of that kind, or the only person or thing that is suitable for a particular purpose. Only is also used in phrases like the only thing for emphasis. Only is used before a noun. She's the only one who can do it. Is that the only kind of cake you have? The only thing that matters is that you are healthy. The word one is also used to refer to the only person or thing that can do something or be suitable for some purpose. One is slightly more emphatic than only, especially when it is used in the phrase the one and only. He's the one person you can rely on in a situation like this. One thing is for certain: he's going to be quite sore after that race. I'm pleased to introduce the one and only Raheem Sterling! Single is an adjective that can be used to refer to the only person or thing of its kind. It is used before a noun, and is more emphatic than one. You haven't listened to a single thing I've said! She's the single most important person in my life. Lone is used before a noun to describe a person who is the only one doing a particular thing. Police were looking for a lone gunman. She was the lone voice of reason(= the only person saying reasonable things). You can use sole to refer to someone or something that is the only person or thing of its kind. Sole is more formal than only or lone, and is used in some official contexts. He was the sole survivor of the plane crash. The company was created for the sole purpose of acquiring its rival through a hostile takeover. |
