adopted 和 adoptive 词根都是 adopt,它的其中一个意思为“领养”,那么 adopted 和 adoptive 作形容词时有什么区别呢? 1、意为“领养的,收养的”,它用来表示某人被领养了,例如:They've got two adopted children and one of their own.They had two adopted children already.As his adopted brothers in the war against evil, the two of them were his equals.作为他在反邪恶战争中收养的兄弟,他们两人和他平等的。Spain is my adopted country. 1、意为“收养的,有收养关系的”,它用来表示某人领养了某人,例如:Her adoptive parents were farmers.My adoptive parents truly loved me with all their heart.It must be quite a story, since my adoptive parents refuse to admit that I was adopted.这一定是个故事,因为我的养父母拒绝承认我是被领养的。England is his adoptive country.adopted 是指某人被领养了,而 adoptive 刚好反过来,是某人领养了某人,在表示移居的国家时,它们通常可以互换,但是 adopted 更常用。Mr Smith says, "Sarah is my adopted daughter."Sarah says, "He is my adoptive father.";
