［词源］  ＜拉丁语perficere (完成)

1.perfect的基本意思是“完美的,完善的,理想的”,当形容具体事物时,还可表示“完整的,完好无损的,无缺陷的”; 当形容抽象事物时,表示“完全的,绝对的”。perfect引申还可指“正确的,精确的”。
2.perfect可以作“十足的,十分的,完全的”解,常用来加强所修饰名词的语气。指人时多用在行为、品德方面,意思是“高雅的,无瑕的”“绝对的”“不折不扣的”。
3.perfect是强化形容词,没有程度上的区别,因此,一般不用very等词来修饰,也不用于比较等级。
4.perfect作“完美的”解时,在句中可用作定语或表语; 作“完全的”解时,在句中主要用作定语。

perfect, flawless
这两个词都可表示“完美无缺的”。其区别是:perfect强调的是“完美的”“精确的”,既可表现为褒义,也可表现为贬义,用于后者时强调十足的坏; flawless强调的是“无缺点的”“无瑕的”,通常只用于褒义。例如:
He is a perfect fool.他是个十足的笨蛋。
This is a flawless performance.这是一场完美的演出。

当perfect作“确实很好”解时,或在描述事物更加接近完美的程度,尤其修饰抽象名词时,可用very或more等词来修饰。例如:
We could not have had a more perfect day for the garden party.游园会那天是我们玩得最快乐的一天。
