词意辨析:

apparent, obvious, evident, clear, plain, distinct, definite, manifest
这些形容词均含“清楚的,明白的,明显的”之意。
apparent: 强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来,故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。
obvious: 语气较强,指极为明显,有目共睹,无需说明和论证。
evident: 指根据事实成为显然的。
clear: 普通用词,侧重清楚明白。
plain: 普通用词,含义与clear很接近,可通用,但plain着重简单明了,不复杂。
distinct: 较正式用词,指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确,不会弄错。
definite: 语气肯定,着重明白无误,无可怀疑。
manifest: 语义较强,书面用词,强调一目了然,暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。
