“可忍耐的”常见的英文表达有 tolerable、bearable 或 endurable。
Tolerable:侧重于表示某种情况或事物虽然不理想,但仍在可接受的范围内,不会造成太大的困扰或不适。例如:The noise level was tolerable, but it became annoying after a while.(噪音水平尚可忍受,但过了一会儿就变得令人厌烦了。)
Bearable:强调能够忍受、承受,通常用于描述一些不太愉快但可以坚持下去的情况。例如:The pain was bearable with the help of the medication.(在药物的帮助下,疼痛是可以忍受的。)
Endurable:和前两者意思相近,都表示可忍受的,但使用频率相对较低。例如:The journey was long and tiring, but it was endurable.(旅程漫长且令人疲惫,但还可以忍受。)
